Horror fans will finally get to check out the latest supernatural thriller, The Awakening, when it starts rolling out next month from Well Go USA. The film was directed by Colombian Jaime Osorio Márquez, who died by assisted suicide in 2021, leaving the film in the good hands of first-time feature film director Federico Durán, and José Luis Rugeles (Rebellion), who debuted the film at the 41st Guadalajara International Film Festival back in April.
An elite military unit ventures into a Colombian jungle on a mission to eliminate an enemy target. What begins as a tactical operation quickly descends into a frenzied nightmare when a primeval force awakens in the darkness. Five hundred years earlier, a Spanish conquistador expedition was consumed by the same relentless curse. Separated by centuries but connected by the same hostile territory, both groups fight to survive the jungle’s curse.
The Awakening stars Claudio Cataño, Alejandro Buitrago, Héctor Sánchez, Andrea Olaya, Quique Sanmartín, Jaisson Jeack, Carlos Mariño, Andres Londono, Salvador Bridges, and Ricardo Leguizamo. The film will release on Digital beginning November 10, followed by Blu-ray and DVD exclusively through Amazon (MOD) on December 15.
