A bone-chilling and gory horror flick with a devasting and threatening series killer executing astonishing crimes. The Canadian film-making trio RKSS behind the cult classic Turbo Kid direct this crazy, ultraviolent survival slasher, presented at the 2023 Sitges Film Festival. It stars a group of environmental friends, environmental activists who raid House Idea, a furniture shopping centre, at night to protest the deforestation of the rainforest. What they don't expect, however, is to run into a psychopathic and bloodthirsty security guard who loves primitive art and is eager to play cat and mouse. An out-of-control villain, hunters being hunted, and lots of blood and gore are the keys to this film, which produces more tension than trying to put a wardrobe together piece by piece.

The premise of the film is as macabre as it is simple: a foolish group of young people enter a shopping mall resulting in terrible consequences. The Thrill is the relentless hunt carried put by a heinous and sinister hunter/murderer against some unfortunate trespassers. The chilling plot is simple and plain, an ordinary screenplay of hundreds of Slashers , a serial murderer turns a mall into his own personal playground, and the essential twisted issue results to be that the killer on the loose undertakes a criminal spree while the victims flee desperately. A typical criminal spree in which some teenagers begin a night in which fun turns into a nightmare when they realize that they are relentlessly pursued .Wake Up(2023) follows the style of the recent Karusell (2023) by Simon Sandquist , ¨Hell Fest¨ (2018) by Gregory Plotkin and ¨Haunt¨ (2019) by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods ,also dealing with a psycho-killer going bersek at in a public and closed establishment, in these cases amusement parks. Al the same time, all of them bear remarkable resemblance to the classic ¨Tobe Hooper's The Funhouse (1981)¨ about four teenagers spending a night at a carnival funhose, who become next on the list of victims.

It contains dark and sinister cinematography, in fact the camera often assumes a pointedly aggressive stance, as well as screeching and eerie musical score by Arnau Bataller . This short-budget film was made by directors François Simard, Anouk Whissell and Yoann-Karl Whissell (RKSS) . They direct professionally but nothing special this disturbing survival story full of horrror, chiller and chases inside a mall. They're working interchangeably for television or cinema. Their debut feature was ¨Turbo Kid¨ it is a post-apocalyptic film made in 2015, an anti-prophetic story with a lot of gore, which adds an eighties science fiction aesthetic and shows a past that has not come to fruition. Rating: average 5/10. The flick will appeal to horror fans, although we had already seen the plot and the situations portrayed before and better filmed .
