Awaiting (2015)

The film starts with the main character Jake having an accident on his way to an unnamed city for an important 'once in a lifetime' meeting. He has an accident on the road and awakens in the care of Morris and his daughter. OK so that's the main bit in a paragraph or so.I've seen plenty of bad reviews for this film and I don't agree with many of them. This is a horror film for horror fans and I think some people hoping for a drama or a psychological thriller have come into this and been disappointed. The acting is fine, the tension is built well and there is enough gore for horror fans to keep you engaged but its not to the point of overkill. (its not hostel or saw) Well written and believable characters helped it along and the scenery is well shot and helped me suspend my disbelief and be carried away to this British hillbilly incestuous nightmare. Overall if you enjoy horror and films like 'the loved ones', you will find something here to keep you entertained. I sincerely hope that writer/director keeps going with the horror genre because I really like what I have seen so far and god knows the genre is wide open for the taking 7/10

Ha , this is really good, just watched this and quickly on here to write a review. Right all characters are solid good performances , story is soooo good , filming really good , soundtrack good. It's great when you find a good horror as god it's few and far in between , I've reviewed loads of horror as its my fave genre and this was such a great uk film. I will write a bit of the story here so don't read if your gonna watch , it's solid horror film. Right , guy tricks man into his house by causing a carcrash and taking him unconscious into his house to fix him up, when he wakes he meets mans daughter who is home schooled and a total freak , although very fit . He wants to leave when he gets better from accident but man keeps preventing him with various excuses , as story progresses it's apparent that the saviour is in fact a psychotic man who is up to no good ... Lots and lots of twists and turns in this film , lots of plot development which so many horrors lack these days. I'm giving it a high score of eight , loved the ginger madman , love the girl who was his daughter in this , oh and make sure you watch last couple mins as I thought it was credits before final bit came on , great horror film , class.

I like UK movies so even though the rating was low, I wanted to see it. If it had been from the US, I wouldn't have bothered. UK and other foreign movies, no matter how bad they might be, have a uniqueness to them that US movies don't.Because Awaiting was only an hour and a half, it was enjoyable and slightly horrific without becoming boring. It also wasn't a ridiculous scenario. I never heard of Diana Vickers before seeing this and I thought she was very good in her role. I also like the music at the end-was surprised it was also her singing. When you're in the middle of nowhere, it's easy to get away with things. And as for the daughter, this was the only life she had known so it didn't seem odd to her. I really don't want to give away spoilers for anyone who does want to see it. I think it was a good horror/thriller movie with some shocking scenes. Don't let a few negative reviews stop you from watching. It's definitely a unique movie - not the type of story that's been done over and over again.

Don't have a whole lot to say about this flick, it's not terrible or anything but it fails to really do anything new. Seemed to have a good budget, the actors/actresses all did a fine job, and the effects were solid but every thing this film brought to the table just felt like things I have seen in tons of other horror films.Still was able to hold my interest til the credits and the last 20 minutes were pretty thrilling but nothing too memorable or unpredictable ever really happened. Not a bad movie, but pretty forgettable and not one I would suggest going out of your way to see.5/10
