For audiences bored by what amounts to a slow-burn road trip, it's all too easy to close your eyes and look for something more exciting in your dreams.

Awake has just enough scares and strangeness, plus a sense of dread and paranoia, to make its horror creepy and enjoyable.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 9, 2021

There is no getting around it: Mark Raso's "Awake" is bad. But at least it's so bad that it's often ludicrously laughable: Netflix may well have a cult turkey on its hands.

Rodriguez is terrific. She is focused, direct, always emotionally present and never overdoing it.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 9, 2021

So for those asking the obvious: Yes, Awake should put you to sleep rather quickly.

You've seen better UGHs.

| Original Score: C- | Jun 8, 2021

Raso's touch with score can feel heavy, but he more than makes up for it with honest emotional moments and well-executed plot points.

Seemingly designed purely to lazily fill the column of "If you liked Bird Box then you should also watch" there's nothing here that hasn't been done before and better, a film that lumbers up to the table with completely empty hands.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 8, 2021

It's difficult to imagine a high-concept thriller that coalesces around its one-line conceit less convincingly than Awake.

| Original Score: .5/4 | Jun 8, 2021
