WOKE

About This Movie

WOKE is a curious blend of horror, sci-fi, and thriller that taps into deep emotional currents. Following Claire, played by Anna Clary, the film explores grief and isolation post her mother's death. There's this unsettling atmosphere throughout, reminiscent of 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' but with its own twist. The practical effects add a layer of authenticity to the creeping dread that builds steadily. Canipe Jr. has crafted a narrative that feels personal yet universal, making you question reality through Claire's eyes. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to simmer. Performances are nuanced, especially Clary's, really grounding the film's more surreal elements. It's distinct in how it merges existential themes with a creeping horror.
