Wake Up
Directed by Anouk Whissell, François Simard, Yoann-Karl Whissell
Produced by StudioCanal, Borsalino Productions
A visceral slasher-thriller that traps young activists in a nightmarish hunt with a deranged killer, prioritizing sustained dread and graphic violence over character depth.
A group of young activists set out to make an environmental statement by vandalizing a home superstore as it closes. But their plan goes terribly wrong when they become trapped inside and must face a deranged security guard with a gruesome passion for primitive hunting. As the night fills with violence and terror, the teenagers find themselves in a desperate fight for their lives.
