Wakers is an art-horror-comedy film that is both a
slasher film and a message about consumerism and corporate marketing. In the
film, a father, (played by Katz-Bohen) reads his daughter a dark bedtime
story about a girl (Blessing C.S.) who's friends are being murdered by an
unknown (and seemingly unstoppable) supernatural being. The adults around her
are caught up in their obessions with buying useless items they do not need,
creating and marketing a substance called Green Shit to the masses, and, in the
case of Blessing's demented therapist, (played by Kaufman), SEX!! The film
can be interpreted both a surrealist nightmare and a Nightmare on Elm
Street-esque massacre, just as much inspired by Troma and Wes Craven as it is
inspired by the works of Ryan Trecartin and Guy Maddin.
Starring: Blessing C.S., Jude Thomas, and includes
appearances by Troma's Lloyd Kaufman as well as Matt
Katz-Bohen, the keyboardist for Blondie
Directed
by: Dylan Greenberg
