WAKE THE DEAD is another cookie cutter indie horror story from America. This one's a low rent paranormal escapade about a psychic girl who moves into a haunted house and decides to hold a seance with her friends, as you do. The young and attractive cast give pretty decent performances given the unprofessional nature of the film, but the horror elements featured largely disappoint. The arrival of a visiting priest who gets short shrift from the spirit is a direct copy from THE AMITYVILLE HORROR. The rest looks like a usual low budget 1990s-era horror flick.

Yet another very amateur movie, just by the way it is filmed you can see how bad it is. The acting (ok not sure what that is) is really awful, the special effects, the story as been done a zillion times.... i am not sure why they even bother. Not sure who signs to approve these movies, i still cannot believe that in 2017 we are expose to such trash.

This film begins one night in 1924 with a man forcibly abducting a woman who is walking on a city sidewalk all alone. He then takes her to his house and begins torturing her. The scene then shifts to the present day with a young man by the name of "Dom" (Ryan Ford) buying that same house from a real estate agent and then surprising his fiancé "Kristin" (Nadia Gillespie) with it. That night, although Dom is romantically inclined, Kristen falls fast asleep and leaves him a bit frustrated. The next morning, Dom suggests that she stop taking both anti-depressants and sleeping pills as they might cause hallucinations. However, she firmly rejects his advice and immediately ends the conversation. Not long afterward, five members of Kristen's family arrive to visit and that's when Kristen begins to experience more than just mere hallucinations. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that I thought this film started off really well. Unfortunately, the plot seemed to take a bad turn after about 30 minutes or so and veered completely off the tracks from that point on. It totally crashed and burned. That being said, while it's certainly not the worst ghost film I have ever seen, I would have a hard time recommending this film to other viewers and I have rated it accordingly. Below average.

This independent horror film has a lot going for it. It strikes a nice balance of serious spooky, while still acknowledging and embracing some of the silliness that we all love in horror films. Much of the acting was good, especially the supporting cast! Would love to see more from the filmmaker!

This is the worst movie I have ever seen! Horrible writing followed by the worst ending possible made this a total flop. It can't even compare to the "B" movies out there. I don't think nudity could have saved this although it wouldn't have hurt it. At least it would get a better rating lol.

Quirky, fun, low budget horror film! I found this movie to be a fun, suspenseful watch. It did a good job mixing comedy and horror in a way that is disarming and keeps the story moving well. I thought that the performances were all believable, the visual style was nicely done too. I won't spoil anything, but I especially liked the "evil" in the film. It's the iconic type that's creepy enough to see further explored in a sequel or possibly a prequel. I highly suggest watching this film.
