WHY WE LOVE IT
THE AWAKENING, the posthumous work of Jaime Osorio (winner of the Best New Director award at Sitges for THE SQUAD), is a unique cinematic experience with a story that transcends conventional horror to immerse us in a mystical and ancestral universe. The result of an epic production with high-level visual effects, it offers the chance to discover the original and complete vision of its creator, free from compromises and constraints. A cult film—bold and unforgettable—created to take us to the most primal and profound depths of the jungle.
SYNOPSIS
An elite military unit ventures into the South American tropical jungle on a mission to eliminate an enemy target. What begins as a tactical operation quickly turns into a nightmare when they encounter supernatural forces emerging from the depths of the jungle. Five hundred years earlier, a Spanish conquistador expedition was consumed by the same relentless force. Separated by centuries but connected by the same hostile territory, both incursions discover something hidden in the jungle: an ancient presence that cannot be controlled.
