Watch The Awakening Movie Online No Survey Set in London in 1921, Florence Cathcart (Rebecca Hall), author of the popular book "Seeing Through Ghosts," has devoted her career to exposing claims of the supernatural as nothing but hoaxes. Haunted by the recent death of her fiancé, she is approached by Robert Mallory (Dominic West) to investigate the recent death of a student at the all-boys boarding school where he teaches. When students at the school report sightings of the young boy's ghost, she decides to take on the case. Initially, the mystery surrounding the ghost appears nothing more than a schoolboy prank, but as Florence continues to investigate events at the school, she begins to believe that her reliance on science may not be enough to explain the strange phenomenon going on around her. -- (C) Cohen Media Group Release Date The Awakening Aug 17, 2012 Limited

Review For The Awakening
Though the story spirals a little out of control in the film's final scenes, "The Awakening" offers the low-key pleasures of an old-fashioned thriller and a lovely central performance. Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times Whatever. Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times The cast is anchored by two wonderful actresses: Imelda Staunton and Rebecca Hall, whose talents are squandered on this lackluster horror drama. Claudia Puig-USA Today When these sudden surprises work, as in "A Beautiful Mind" or "The Others," you're too stunned to swallow that next handful of popcorn; when they don't, you're tempted to throw your whole box at the screen. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger A dull British import that never lives up to the pretensions of its period setting. Chris Berube-Globe and Mail An enjoyably old-fashioned ghost story in the vein of "The Others" and "The Orphanage." Sara Stewart-New York Post The Awakening glides ghost-like through its story, laying its own elaborate traps along the way. Kristal Cooper-We Got This Covered The Awakening is a handsome, well-acted thriller with a script that's never cringe-inducing. So why did it sneak its way onto home video with no fanfare? Christian Toto-Big Hollywood [Rebecca Hall] captures Florence's flinty intelligence and the vulnerability that emerges as she slowly discovers the school's dark secrets. Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune Pretty good, but more pretty than good. Matt Pais-RedEye A concise little old-school British ghost story, and I say there's always room for a few more of those. Scott Weinberg-FEARnet Murphy exhibits a deft touch for a first-timer and can feel satisfied that his film honours the tradition of such spooky Brit works as The Haunting and The Innocents. Simon Foster-Screen-Space ... manages some effectively creepy imagery along with a few clever plot twists. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com Exquisite production design and admirable performances can't overcome the lackluster scares. Sean O'Connell-CinemaBlend.com Murphy shows tremendous skill with genre elements, helping The Awakening to overcome its formulaic origins, keeping attention on panic and skepticism, not just on cheap thrills. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com Though slightly undone by a twist that demands a grain or two too much credulity on the part of the viewer, it nonetheless triumphs as a tone poem of an unsettled zeitgeist that plays cat-and-mouse with that same viewer right until the very end. Andrea Chase-Killer Movie Reviews A strong, moving performance by Rebecca Hall coupled with an eerie atmosphere thanks to the top-notch cinematography provides enough palpable tension and scares to compensate for its weak, convoluted ending. Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru While it offers more goosebumps than gasps, it's a pleasurable reminder of the sort of discreet supernatural thriller that was once a staple but is now, unhappily, a rarity. Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion The big climactic reveal intended to explain the entire movie ends up being both confusing and ridiculous. Ethan Alter-Television Without Pity West is so underused, he barely gets to raise an eyebrow in this watchable but pedestrian film, with Hall ghostbusting in a Downton Abbey setting. Cliched and never chilling. Caryn James-James on screenS
