'Awake to Danger' is a predictable drama, but one that Lifetime TV never seems to tire of airing. It is a form drama for Lifetime TV, meaning that it has been standardized, only the characters and the situation change slightly, but in the end, everything is nearly identical right down to the reasons for the crime. 'Awake to Danger,' however, takes that trite story and makes it nauseatingly worse with its story, actors, and dialogue.
Tori Spelling takes the cake for bad acting as a young girl who witnessed the death of her mother. Except, she can't remember it so well, so the killer's identity still remains to be uncovered. So, we get one red herring after another because the writing is so thin, they have to elude you with cheap scare tactics, though some of which are too implausible to go along with. Not until after they have lead you to point fingers at everyone who shows up on screen do they finish you off with a stupid ending. Shae D'Lyn, probably the only tolerable actress in the cast as the monotoned sister, was completely wasted and should've had the lead role. But Spelling more than anyone else, really hams up this cheesefest, especially when it looks as though she's nearly laughing during those "traumatic" hypnosis scenes.
It is definitely a movie I'd recommend not wasting your time on.
