Curiosidades

Awoken is a 2019 Australian horror film that was directed by Daniel J. Phillips, who co-wrote the script with Alan Grace. The film stars Sara West as a young medical student trying to save her insomnia plagued brother from sinister forces.

Development

Director Daniel J. Phillips drew inspiration for the film's premise from the creepypasta "The Russian Sleep Experiment", in which sleep deprivation features predominantly. Other influences on the film included The Exorcist and The Conjuring films. Grace was chosen as a co-writer due to his experience writing scripts set in claustrophobic, limited settings.

During the editing process Phillips and editor Sean Lahiff chose to restructure the lead in order to make it more clear that Karla was a student doctor, as they had previously introduced her as a doctor, causing confusion with viewers.
