RKSS, the Fantasia Film Festival favourite filmmaking collective consisting of Anouk Whissell, Yoann-Karl Whissell and François Simard (TURBO KID, SUMMER OF 84, WE ARE ZOMBIES), returns to the fest with their first slasher film, Wake Up.
The screenplay by Alberto Marini (SLEEP TIGHT) based on an original idea by Martin Soudan, and presented by Borsalino Productions and STUDlOCANAL, puts Gen Z through a violent reckoning.
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 as they find out man is the deadliest predator.
A fun night at Fantasia is in store.
