Teenaged Rizz (Sarah Crawford) has skipped her mother*s (Bridgit Lee Martin) funeral - and while this sounded like a good idea at first, now it's sending her on a guilt trip, So according to teenage logic, what to do but run away from home, with her best friend Myles (Queen Legend) in tow. Thing is, our heroines don't make it very far after a day of running away and eventually break into what they deem to be an abandoned building - only it's not, it's inhabited by a bed-ridden woman, April (Mamie Kakimoto), who's unresponsive but apparently in a state of acute pain and/or fear, Rizz and Myles try to all for help without implicating themselves for breaking and entering, but to no avail, and eventually they find themselves locked into the house with April, and the only way to get out of this situation is to watch the videotapes April has left behind chronicling the way to get to where she's now, a chronicle that features an evil entity (Isabel Klapwyk) slowly taking possession of her, and the girls sure have to figure out how to get out of this soon, as Rizz's guilt makes her an easy next target for the entity for sure ...

Now if you like your horror flashy and full of spectacle, then For God's Sake Wake Her Up is probably not for you as it's a film that relies heavily on a detailed build-up and favours story over effect - but if slowburn horror's your thing, you'll be richly rewarded, as this film treats its audience to a leisurly evolving mystery that involves lots of character work and demands one's full attention, And thanks to a suitably atmospheric directorial effort and a strong small ensemble, this movie really hits it out of the park, delivering a piece of very cool horror entertainment.
