Dead Awake (2010)



Genre: Thriller

Average Netflix Rating: 2.8 Stars

Synopsis: In this supernatural love story, lonely funeral home employee Dylan (Nick Stahl) fakes his death in order to find out who will attend his funeral. The surprising results prompt him to investigate the decade-old tragedy that ruined his life. Attending the phony funeral are junkie Charlie (Rose McGowan), who needs Dylan to save her from herself, and high school sweetheart Natalie (Amy Smart), whom he abandoned long ago.

Horrible. Waste of time. Thriller???? This was the most boring thriller I've ever watched. It was 5 different movies tossed together and it didn't work. Fake a funeral and watch the characters develop, could be an interesting drama, but then you throw in a random murder mystery, then add in druggies and the mob, then add in a love story, THEN if that's not random enough throw in ghosts and some random twists about who's alive and who's dead... This movie wants to be very smart, but tries so hard it comes off stupid. What really surprises me is Amy Smart... Why does she keep ending up in these horrible movies? I doubt that I'm the only person that thinks she should be a big star. On the same note, Nick Stahl has made a nice little career for himself - why is he in this piece of crap??

Where Should You Put It In Your Q? Don't put it in your Q at all, there's nothing here worth seeing...
