A Deranged Killer Prepares for the Hunt in Clip From WAKE UP a Horror Film by the TURBO KID Team
The filmmaking team behind Turbo Kid and Summer of ‘84, RKSS, has made a new horror film titled Wake Up, and the first look for the film has come in the form of a clip!
The film follows “a group of young activists set out to make an environmental statement by vandalizing a home superstore as it closes. But their plan goes terribly wrong when they become trapped inside and must face a deranged security guard with a gruesome passion for primitive hunting. As the night fills with violence and terror, the teenagers find themselves in a desperate fight for their lives.”
The clip features the activists trapped in the superstore and the killer is preparing himself for the hunt. RKSS said in a statement: “As soon as we read the script, the core concept and the timely subject were so compelling to us, that we immediately could visualize the film and we knew we had to direct it and bring our own signature into the project. A slasher in a closed furniture store and warehouse makes an exciting playground for sure!”
RKSS is short for Roadkill Superstars, and the directing team consists of Anouk Whissell, Yoann-Karl Whissell, and François Simard. They’ve made some fun movies and one that has yet to come out is a film adaptation of the comic book, We Are Zombies.
Wake Up is written by Alberto Marini, based on an original idea by Martin Soudan, and presented by Borsalino Productions and Stdiocanal. The cast includes Benny O.Arthur, Jacqueline Moré, Charlotte Stoiber, Kyle Scudder, Alessia Yoko Fontana, and Tom Gould along with Turlough Convery (Black Mirror, Killing Eve) and Aidan O’Hare (My Sailor, My Love).
This looks like it could be fun! Watch the clip and tell us what you think!
