Waking Up Dead (2022) User Reviews

An emotional gut punch

Saw this film recently at the Georgia Latino Film Festival. The story takes some risks, dealing with heavy subject matter but pulls off some great comedy, and makes you think at the same time.

Traci Lords character is hilarious, and her biting humor is worth the price of admission alone! Judy Geeson delivers a powerful portrayal and her presence lends a lot to the movie.

As someone with 16 years in and around the recovery rooms, it's nice to see a film that tackles the impacts of addiction in the gay community in such a realistic way. It's hard for these smaller gay films to get out there, and I really hope this movie has a chance to touch other people's lives in a positive way.

The title says it all... Captures the element

One of the cool things about independent film, making in present and day is you get the chance to see some of the new ideas that are up and coming up and this one provides exactly that. The only downfall to this movie is the fact that the ending left the audience with so many questions, and hopefully in the next film, those questions are answered. The film itself has some pretty decent acting, actors, and the storyline really played out well throughout the film process. Once again, it's the ending that could've been better, but I am open to seeing if there's going to be a part two and hopefully that film Circles back and completes the ending to the first one.

The average iq of the world's PLUMMETED (RAPIDIDLY)

That ANYONE (with an auctioning brain) would give his piece of amateurish junk ANY (high) rating is frightening, but that these people think this (garbage) is brilliant, or the best thing these ever seen, should tell anyone STAY IN SCHOOL. Don't waste your time/life away on (anti)social media and video games.

Seeing that these cretins rated this mess as high as they did gives me shivers when I think that they are now reproducing (forget trivial nonsense like having a job, education, and just party, this is the real world-version of 'Idiocracy'. No one could make up trash like them - or this 'film), or more accurately, this 'digitally shot on ...something' if they tried to.

No, this isn't even watchable, and the dopes who rate things like this give the idea of legalising mandatory post-foetal abortion to anyone over 18 who's failed to graduate, failed to get/look for work, yet has managed to reproduce a REAL, REAL probability.

Do you want to find a better way to spend your time than watching this? Go to sleep. Skip rocks, breathe. Hell, ANYthing.
