I must admit that the movie's cover is what lured me to sit down to watch the 2020 horror movie "Reawakened". Yeah, I hadn't even heard about the movie, but the movie's cover with a bloodied woman laying on a slab reaching out towards the viewer, definitely had me interested.
And then I watched the movie. Well, at least tried to. I didn't even make it halfway through before I gave up on this rubbish. Indeed, the movie just utterly failed to capture my interest, and it provided me with no entertainment or any enjoyment whatsoever.
The storyline was a massive swing and a miss from writers Jose Altonaga and Remy MacKenzie, and the pacing of the movie just added fuel to the fire of being incredibly boring and pointless. Even the characters in the movie were beyond the threshold of being even remotely interesting.
As for the acting in "Reawakened", well let's just say that people tried with the limitations imposed upon them by director Jose Altonaga and the fact that they had virtually nothing to work with.
Visually, well from what I managed to see, then the movie was semi-adequate. It wasn't top of the line props, special effects or costumes. But for a movie of this magnitude, I suppose it was sufficient enough.
If you enjoy horror movies, you might want to give "Reawakened" a wide berth. I should have had checked out the IMDb page prior to sitting down for watching this, as the low rating is a clear indication of the level of movie you will be in for. There is just a sense of homemade amateur film project permeating this entire thing.
My rating of "Reawakened" lands on a mere two out of ten stars. This movie was bad, really bad.
