The Awakening is a handsome, well-acted thriller with a script that's never cringe-inducing. So why did it sneak its way onto home video with no fanfare?

If you're in the mood for some serious spooks with solid acting, The Awakening is worth checking out; but I wouldn't go out of my way if you're looking for anything more than that.

An enjoyably old-fashioned ghost story in the vein of "The Others" and "The Orphanage."
