Awoken is the story of Kara, a med student whose brother, Blake, is gradually succumbing to FFI. When doctors announce that it would best to just take him home so he can die comfortably, Kara takes matters into her own hands and, along with some other students, moves Blake into the basement of an abandoned medical facility to treat him in secret.The set-up of this movie is snappy but not rushed, and we’re down in the dark basement within the first fifteen minutes of the movie, giving more time for freakiness. A lot of that freakiness comes from Kara finding videotapes of previous medical interventions performed by her father on their mother who was also suffering from Fatal Familial Insomnia.
