Reviews
The Wake received largely unfavorable reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a low rating of 2.7 out of 10, reflecting widespread dissatisfaction. Criticisms often focus on the film's lack of originality and insufficient character development. A review from Rotten Tomatoes highlighted the film's 'predictable plot and cliched scares,' while Metacritic's analysis pointed out the 'wooden performances and subpar special effects.' A user review on IMDb stated, 'The Wake fails to engage its audience due to its sluggish pace and lackluster dialogue,' giving it 2 stars out of 10. However, some viewers appreciated its atmospheric setting and attempt at psychological horror, suggesting potential for a more resonant impact with a different execution. Despite these few positive notes, the consensus is that The Wake falls short of its potential, struggling to deliver a compelling horror experience.
