Time to add some international flavor to your afternoon with the first stills, trailer, and one sheet from filmmaker Barry Berk's latest terror tale, Sleeper's Wake. Dive in with both feet, kids! This one is looking pretty damned good!
The film will make its premiere at the Durban International Film Festival in South Africa.
Synopsis
John Wraith regains consciousness in hospital, his mind awash with drugs and amnesia, a huge centipede of a scar spread across his forehead from a motorcar accident in which his wife and daughter died because he fell asleep at the wheel.
To heal and find solace, he goes to Nature’s Cove, a wild, unspoilt coastal settlement in South Africa, where most of the holiday homes are boarded up and eerily empty over the winter months. It is there that John comes across a 17-year-old girl, Jackie, weeping softly in a boat outside a chalet.
