Critics Consensus: The Awakening never quite quickens the pulse the way it should, yet it remains a well-acted and handsomely assembled example of an old-fashioned supernatural thriller.

Reviews

The Wolfman Cometh

Patrick Cavanaugh

The core cast and gothic setting makes for a time-honored and entertaining ghost story.

For all its pedestrian qualities, there are a couple of big plus points in its favour. They are Rebecca Hall and Dominic West.

Nick Murphy has crafted an elegant haunted-house chiller that turns the screw of mystery and suspense with some cunningly judged surprises and scares.

Musings of Guitargalchina

Katie Smith-Wong

It is beautifully shot and the scenery and the ambience of a large haunted house is wonderfully captured, but can this film be the upstart for the modern British horror?

A criminally derivative and besotted example of the ghost thriller genre.
