Wake in Fright Ratings & Reviews
- Doepus12 februari 2026Another movie set in the outback with themes of isolation in a strange remote area
- Doc Worm30 december 2025A disturbing nihilistic crash course in toxic masculinity captured brilliantly in a warm colorful grading that highlights the harsh Australian desert. Tight camera framing keeps this story feel personal as you watch a man smoke, drink, gamble and shoot his way to the bottom. If you can stomach the VERY REAL ANIMAL VIOLENCE in this movie, you have a surprisingly deep and unique film.
- mickerdoo13 december 2025A poster child for just saying no. Hunt scene was deeply unsettling. Pleasence was good, the story was just so off putting.
