Wake

Wake (2024) is a lean horror-thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Desperate for a part in the remake of an old Hollywood hit, struggling actress Lake hunts down the star of the original — a woman who shut herself off from the world years ago.

Lake talks her way inside the recluse's house and finds things that don't add up: small, wrong, frightening. What began as a job interview by other means slides into a nightmare she can't wake from, because she was never asleep to begin with. Fivel Stewart carries nearly every frame, and the tension grows out of silence rather than cheap jolts.

At a tight 84 minutes, directors Thom Arizmendi and Austin Parks Stewart bet everything on the claustrophobia of a single house and the idea baked into the tagline: you can't wake from a nightmare if you're not asleep. A pick for fans of low-budget horror that trusts mood over gore. Stream Wake (2024) online on iFILM.
