It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Morris (Tony Curran) lives on the Moors. He owns a wrecker and has a nefarious watch collection. As he is about to add to his collection, his daughter (Diana Vickers) interrupts him and Jake (Rupert Hill) becomes a house guest in what comes initially as a farmer's daughter joke. Jake's desire to leave meets with resistance from Morris who operates a profitable business.Th picture starts out good but then stagnates. There are a limited number of victims so the film must concentrate on what few it has. The influence Jake has on the daughter wasn't done well. They should have cut 20 minutes from the film.Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

I like UK movies so even though the rating was low, I wanted to see it. If it had been from the US, I wouldn't have bothered. UK and other foreign movies, no matter how bad they might be, have a uniqueness to them that US movies don't.Because Awaiting was only an hour and a half, it was enjoyable and slightly horrific without becoming boring. It also wasn't a ridiculous scenario. I never heard of Diana Vickers before seeing this and I thought she was very good in her role. I also like the music at the end-was surprised it was also her singing. When you're in the middle of nowhere, it's easy to get away with things. And as for the daughter, this was the only life she had known so it didn't seem odd to her. I really don't want to give away spoilers for anyone who does want to see it. I think it was a good horror/thriller movie with some shocking scenes. Don't let a few negative reviews stop you from watching. It's definitely a unique movie - not the type of story that's been done over and over again.

I am really surprised that a British made film could be so bad..the storyline although not the most original isn't too bad. However, the acting is terrible! They seem to have thrown in any old thing they thought would be disturbing to an audience, cannibalism, psychotisism, hints on incest etc but not developed the plot properly leaving the story to be just a mess of horror film clichés.Diana Vickers should definitely stick to singing as she plays a very unconvincing part in this film and I found myself actually rolling my eyes half the time she spoke. The expression on her face throughout the film is what I can only describe as pathetic, like a school girl that's been given a part in the school production for the first time not someone who has just found out her father is a murderer and cannibal. Her only purpose in this film is to look pretty and that alone.As for the rest of the actors (all 4 of them), Tony Curran at times almost made me believe his character and I can tell that he is not an awful actor even in this abomination of a film. Rupert Hill offers a very Coronation street performance..no more to be said here and as far as Peter Woodward is concerned, a very theatrical performance is given, particularly during his death scene I may have actually laughed out loud.The best actor may have been Adrian Bouchet in this!!! Overall I'm thoroughly disappointed that these actors (except Vickers) actually allowed this film to be released..seems like an amateur school project to me.

We picked this film from a good number showing to spend our hard earned cash on at Frighfest in London today. Frighfest is a truly excellent festival full of brilliant horror films, however, this is not one of them. Not by a long chalk. Even the production values which were fairly high and the normally excellent Tony Curran couldn't save this God awful film. The main problems with this film, and the issues were numerous, was the terrible script and the terrible acting of Diana Vickers. I don't often give reviews although I do watch many films. The strength of my feeling means that I am compelled to warn horror fans not to spend either their precious time or their money on this film. Instead, watch The Lesson made for much less money, much better acting and very well executed.
