Awaken the Devil is a thrilling horror film released in 2015, directed by Daniel Dubiecki, and starring Ryan Lieske, Jason Roth, Matt Simpson Siegel, and John Tuttle. The movie takes place in Los Angeles and follows four friends who are in search of a unique experience to remember before they go on their separate ways. The protagonist, Ben, is a quirky guy who just lost his job and is feeling lost. He meets up with his old friends: Davaughn, Nathan, and Tyler, to get wasted and enjoy one last night of crazy adventures. That's when Davaughn invites them to check out an underground party that is rumored to include a unique kind of entertainment.

When they arrive at the party, they're greeted by the host who informs them that the real entertainment is yet to come. They're given masks that will allow them to experience a mind-altering drug, which is known to bring their worst fears to life. When the effects of the drug kick in, they're transported to an eerie underground chamber where they must confront their deepest and darkest fears.

As the night drags on, the friends find themselves in grave danger when they realize that the horrors they're experiencing are real and that they're no longer in charge of their own fates. They must navigate through a horrific maze of traps and dangers, including an unearthly creature that seems to be stalking them, intent on killing them.

The movie has a fast-paced plot and a great balance of tension and action. The horror elements are well-executed, with jump scares and gore that are enough to make the audience cringe. While the plot is somewhat predictable, the movie's pacing and well-crafted visuals more than make up for it.

The acting in Awaken the Devil is solid, given the limited range that the characters have. Ryan Lieske, who plays Ben, delivers a convincing performance, taking on the role of the film's protagonist with ease. Jason Roth, who plays Davaughn, brings the necessary energy and enthusiasm to the role of the wild partygoer. Matt Simpson Siegel and John Tuttle, who play Nathan and Tyler, respectively, give decent performances but have less screen time than their fellow cast members.

The movie's strength lies in its direction and cinematography, which give the film a surreal and otherworldly feel. The underground chamber where the party is held is dark and claustrophobic, creating a feeling of unease that permeates the rest of the film.

Overall, Awaken the Devil is an entertaining horror film that doesn't take itself too seriously. It's not groundbreaking, but it's a fun and suspenseful ride that offers enough thrills to satisfy most horror fans. If you're looking for a movie to watch with friends on a late night or want to experience something creepy and memorable, Awaken the Devil is a good choice.
