Set in post-World War I England in 1921, The Awakening follows Florence, (Rebecca Hall), a bright, learned and rational thinker who travels to a countryside boarding school to investigate rumours of an apparent haunting. Just when she thinks she has debunked the ghost theory, she has a chilling spectral encounter which defies all her beliefs. Finely crafted with subtle attention to detail, The Awakening is a masterfully told and fiercely gripping ghost story. (Madman Entertainment)
