Wake Before I Die

About This Movie

Wake Before I Die is one of those films where the tension builds slowly, like a thick fog creeping in over a seemingly serene town. The small-town setting adds a layer of unease, especially as Pastor Dan Bennett's world starts unraveling. The spiritual themes run deep, probing into obsession and hidden truths, and there's definitely an atmosphere of dread that lingers throughout. The practical effects have that gritty charm that makes the horror feel more grounded, and the performances, particularly from the lead, are compelling—he carries the weight of doubt and fear well. It’s not just about the scares; it’s the way it delves into faith, morality, and what happens when you confront the darkness within and around you.
