THE AWAKENING Trailer

Produced by StudioCanal-funded BIRDIE PICTURES, The Awakening is a dread-fuelled horror short which fuses elements of British folk horror with hints of Japanese tech-horror, blended to create a nerve-wracking tale about a man who discovers he’s been sleepwalking and is curious to learn where he goes in the middle of the night. Co-written by director Al Campbell (Code404, Two Weeks to Live) and Nat Saunders & James Serafinowicz (Sick Note, Truth Seekers) and starring Daniel Mays (Vera Drake, Atonement, Rogue One, Line of Duty), The Awakening builds on its themes of loneliness and isolation, taking its protagonist on a voyage into inexplicable existential terror, as well as teasing the longer-format story that it’s a teaser for.
Brief Synopsis:
Mike (Daniel Mays) lives alone in a quiet village. He wakes one morning with muddy feet. Intrigued to know what he’s getting up to in the middle of the night, he sets his phone to record the room next time he goes to bed. Reviewing the footage in the morning, he’s shocked to see that in the early hours he sits bolt upright in bed and sleepwalks out of the room! Mike buys a GoPro and straps it to his head the next night. And when he follows the footage of his sleepwalking self on a journey from wakefulness to a horrifying nightmare…
