Wake Up (3 Stars)


This is the third film in the Stuttgart Fantasy Film Festival.

A group of teenage environmental activists stay overnight in a furniture store to protest against the wood being taken from the Amazon rain forests. They spray slogans on the wall and generally make a mess everywhere. So they don't get bored they take their paint guns to battle with one another, three against three. Unknown to them, there's a mentally deranged security guard who reacts to the intrusion by killing the teenagers, one by one.

Is it a good film? That depends on what you want. The atmosphere is intense, and the jump scares are effective, but the story itself is weak. Is this really the way environmental activists would act? The film's premise is infeasible.
