Awakened Movie Review

About:

Newspaper reporter Jacob Harker (Rob Boltin) loses his job, forcing he and his wife, Haley (Gwendolyn Edwards), to move into a small rental house owned by Webster Cain (Michael Monks). In the process of moving in, Jacob discovers a discarded audio recording of 60’s blues singer Carol James (Hannah Hughes). Captivated by the voice on the recording, Jacob conducts an investigation into Carol James’ life and death.   Through his pursuit, Jacob becomes haunted by an evil spirit. While the spirit seductively persuades Jacob, drawing him deeper and deeper into its own malicious plot, the spirit attacks and terrorizes Haley, creating both fear and distrust in the Harker’s home. Haley sees her husband turning into someone less recognizable each day.

How can a marriage survive such attack, deception, and evil?

Can the faith of one help restore the condition of another?

My Review:

The main screen on the DVD makes me think this movie is a scary movie. Watching the movie it seems like a thriller. This movie seems more of a horror movie type than a Christian or faith-based movie. Things that even spooked me.

There is drinking and implied drinking in this movie too. There is even violence in this movie too.

This movie quote stood out to me in one of the church scenes …

God has a way of awakening us to His needs in His own time.

Obsessions can cause demons in us and how they can tear apart a marriage. “Don’t be afraid to live courageous in your marriage.” That is another quote in the movie that stood out.

We do not fight against flesh and blood but the spiritual forces of evil. Ephesians 6:12 and talks about putting on the Shield of Faith, part of the Armor of God.

I do believe this movie is suited for much older teens, it is not recommended for young children.

I will say it was a very interesting movie. It was too spooky for my taste in faith-based movies, even if it was a Christian Faith-Based Movie. The only good part was the very end of the movie.

But when a marriage goes on rocks, I am sure it can seem like you are living in a horror film yourself.
