Wake Up: First Clip of Slasher from Turbo Kid Directors

French-Canadian directing trio RKSS (Anouk Whissell, Yoann-Karl Whissell, and François Simard) are following up Turbo Kid and Summer of ’84 with a slasher movie in the form of Wake Up. The first clip for the movie has emerged.

Incensed by the environmental destruction wrought by a fictitious minimalist Swedish furniture store, a band of six young activists sneaks into the big-box store after hours to wreak havoc of their own, gleefully destroying displays and smearing animal blood on bathroom fixtures for the benefit of the ‘gram.

As emboldened as they may be, their sense of outrage pales in comparison to the seething, decades-long resentment of the night watchman, Kevin. Already teetering on the edge of sanity and now piqued by his mistreatment at the hands of management and the disrespectful 20-somethings, he eagerly accepts their bloody invitation, putting his “primitive hunting” techniques to good use. As Kevin creatively picks off members of the collective one by one, those that remain stage a final stand in an attempt to make it out alive.

The clip shows the hunter gearing up to track the activists down.

Wake Up Clip

Wake Up premiered at Fantastic Fest yesterday and will continue on the festival circuit at Sitges Film Festival in Spain as part of the Oficial Fantàstic Competition. It stars Benny O.Arthur (Django), Jacqueline Moré (The Anarchists’s Dream), Charlotte Stoiber (Downfall), Kyle Scudder, and newcomers Alessia Yoko Fontana and Tom Gould, plus Turlough Convery (Black Mirror) and Aidan O’Hare (My Sailor, My Love).

”As soon as we read the script, the core concept and the timely subject were so compelling to us, that we immediately could visualize the film and we knew we had to direct it and bring our own signature into the project,” RKSS said about Wake Up. “A slasher in a closed furniture store and warehouse makes an exciting playground for sure. We’re so excited to world premiere this movie at Fantastic Fest. It’s going to be a first for us, and we cannot wait to meet with the crowd and team!”

There’s currently no theatrical or VOD release date for Wake Up.
