Morris is a recluse with psychotic tendencies, whose life changes when his seemingly innocent daughter Lauren rescues one of his victims and befriends him.

Jake, a lawyer from the city waiting to propose to his girlfriend properly, soon realises that he is stranded, and his presence in the house gradually reveals unexpected and dark mysteries from the past.....

It's a certainly interesting premise, guy gets involved in a 'road accident' comes round in a strange place, with a young girl who is infatuated with him, and her psychotic father.....

But in fact, once you've seen the film, you'll have that strange feeling of déjà Vu, because no matter how enjoyable the film can be at times, it's just too familiar, as it has hints from lots of popular horror movies from the past 50 or so years.

The films that it reminded of the most were The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The People Under The Stairs, Psycho, and a little hunt of Straw Dogs.

All these films featured a person out of their comfort zone in an element of peril, and having an injury of some sort. The thing these four films have in common, are that they are far superior to Awaiting.

But, the three central performances are solid and Curran especially keeps you gripped whenever he almost loses his marbles (a little bit more).

The bloke from coronation street is good, but he's your stereotypical rich boy in peril who thinks its a good idea to be verbally facetious toward your captor when imminent peril is about to be inflicted upon you, just to let them know that your intellectually superior at that particular time......good choice.

Vickers is also good, in fact very good for an X factor runner up, her innocent, almost childlike performance is pretty disturbing, especially during the Christmas dinner scene, but then one scene makes you think she may have been a bit of a diva on set, because two certain body parts are CG erased, and it's blooming obvious.

So all in all, it's a decent movie, with a couple of decent twists, but you'll think you've seen it before.

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.

It's not that bad. The actors commit to the characters and I believed it. Not a terrible script but not as good as it could be. The ending, the very last scene prevents the movie from getting more than a 6. I mean... The writer/director didn't need that part. It would have been less cliche without that last "she's crazy now too!" bit. Would have been more powerful to have her end on the suffering note and not knowing how to live in society. Also, it was a forced ending. Why did she go in the freezer??? Why in the world, after all that would she go back to the traumatizing shed? And look in the freezer with no hint that there's something in it that she couldn't have guessed (more body parts and such) would be inside. So that last bit was cheap compared to a fully fleshed out sequence of events.
