Indie thriller Awaken has moved to make itself stand out from the pack by adding two modern genre icons to its ranks.

Via Deadline, the picture has brought in Aliens’ Lance Henriksen and the Saw franchise’s Tobin Bell to amp up its star power. The duo join Up’s Ed Asner, Ford v Ferrari’s Alyona Khmara, Monday at 11:01am’s Charles Agron and The Caregiver’s Krista Dane Hoffman in Awaken.

The official word on Awaken reads:

Awaken follows Oliver Cook (Agron), a wealthy businessman dealing with the loss of his only child. It is a mystery whether she was murdered or kidnapped. No one has a clue in this tale of murder and revenge that involves Oliver’s wife (Khmara), his lawyer (Bell), a person from the past (Henriksen), a stripper (Adams), a recluse (Asner) and a mysterious woman (Hoffman). As Oliver begins to unravel the mystery, he learns that events of the deep past have a direct bearing on his family’s survival.

Gates of Darkness’ Dan FauntLeRoy is on directing duties for Awaken.
