The Long Awake is a 2015 American independent psychological thriller film directed by Kenneth Granaas and written by Granaas and Evin Charles Anderson. The film stars Anderson, Mark Jenkins and Eleanor Walker-Jenkins. The movie begins with Kyle (Evin Charles Anderson), a man with memory loss who is struggling to remember his past. He gets a job as a night guard at an abandoned warehouse, where he meets Nolan (Mark Jenkins), and his girlfriend, Trinity (Eleanor Walker-Jenkins). Nolan reveals to Kyle that the warehouse was once used for medical experiments on coma patients. The researchers were trying to find a way to communicate with comatose patients by transferring their consciousness into a virtual world. The project was a failure, and the patients were left in a vegetative state.

As Kyle starts to work at the warehouse, he begins to have strange visions and dreams about the patients. He starts to see the patients in a different light, not as abandoned beings, but as part of a grand experiment that was meant to bring them back to reality. Soon, Kyle finds himself being pulled into the virtual world created by the researchers as he begins to communicate with the coma patients. In this virtual world, the patients are awake, and Kyle is their savior.

The more Kyle delves into the virtual world, the more he learns about the sinister motives of the researchers. He discovers that the researchers had been using him as a subject all along, and he was part of their grand experiment. They had implanted memories into his mind to make him believe he was a security guard at the warehouse. Kyle's reality starts to crumble, as he realizes that his whole life might have been a lie.

The film takes on several twists and turns, leading viewers on a suspenseful journey through Kyle's mind. As he battles to uncover the truth, Kyle is haunted by his nightmares, and his relationship with Nolan starts to crumble under the strain of his revelations. The Long Awake is a tense psychological thriller that explores the limits of the human mind and the complex web of lies that can be spun around it.

The Long Awake is a low-budget movie, but it manages to maintain its suspenseful grip throughout the film. The plot is well constructed and engaging, while the performances of the actors are naturalistic and convincing. The music is appropriately haunting, adding to the eerie atmosphere of the film.

Overall, The Long Awake is a thought-provoking and suspenseful movie that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. With its well-constructed plot and convincing performances, it is a must-watch for fans of psychological thrillers.
