Reel Review: Wake Up

Wake Up is a brutal, fast-moving horror from RKSS that turns climate activism into a bloodbath. A crew of young protesters break into a big-box store to make a statement, only to be picked off by a primal, sadistic security guard. There’s not much depth here, but what it lacks in nuance, it makes up for in creative violence and relentless pacing. Turlough Convery is unforgettable as the unhinged killer, and the synth-driven score adds tension. It’s nasty, stylish, and unapologetically chaotic.

Mitten’s Verdict: A gory wake-up call that swings wild—some hits, plenty of splatters.
