‘Wake Up’ Trailer: When Animal Activism Goes Comically Wrong

wake up

Coming soon from Canadian directing team RKSS (Turbo Kid, Summer of 84) is their latest piece of chaos, Wake Up. Boasting their expected kinetic visuals and fast pace, Wake Up is like a shock to the system as we watch a group of animal activists get more than they bargained for when they sneak into a superstore after hours.

In the film:

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.

Watch the trailer:

RKSS (which stands for Roadkill Superstars) is made up of siblings Anouk Whissell and Yoannn-Karl Whissell. Alberto Marini, who previously produced [REC], wrote the script.

Turlough Convery (Black Mirror), Benny O.Arthur (Django), Alessia Yoko Fontana (Iris), Jacqueline Moré (The Anarchist’s Dream), Kyle Scudder (In Love All Over Again), Thomas Gould, Charlotte Stoiber (Downfall) and Aidan O’Hare (My Sailer My Love) star in the new film.

Wake Up comes to theaters in the U.S. and Canada on April 4, 2025.
