Cast

Production

Filming took place in the Fall of 2009, in Des Moines, Iowa, and was released in December 2010 to mixed reviews. Mark Olsen of the Los Angeles Times said in his review; "Though the performers gamely try to make the most of what little they have to work with, the film is murky to look at and unfocused in its storytelling. "Dead Awake" is a deadly snore."[1] Positive marks came from the NYC Movie Guru, who called the film "an intriguing blend of mystery, suspense, drama and supernatural thrills that slightly loses steam as its trust in the audience's intelligence wanes."[2]
