Did you know?
- The word despertar is a cognate of the Walloon word dispierter, showing a linguistic link between Spanish and a regional Romance language spoken in Belgium.
- The title uses El despertar instead of a literal translation of 'rise' like ascenso, because 'rise' in horror titles often implies a spiritual or supernatural reawakening.
- If a Spanish speaker refers to 'el despertar' of a person, they might be talking about their political or social awakening rather than them physically getting out of bed.
