But with the invention of streaming whole channels now are focused on the genre and films are being made with those channels in mind, movies that don't always play in theaters but go straight to disc and those channels.
At one time that was not the case, horror films only came in cycles and fans were forced to wait for those to come around again. There are a ton of horror movies released these days. This is one you really have to watch and come to your own conclusions as to whether it is good or not. This isn't a polished film with all the works but it isn't that bad as far as low budget films go. The acting and effects weren't too cheesy even though it is clearly a lower budgeted film. There isn't a lot of character building so you never really get a chance to become invested in these characters. This is a slowly paced film and I got the feeling that it is supposed to be set in the 80's from the music and some of the clothing. So, I like the idea but the delivery could have been much better. We have no idea what goes on while we are sleeping. We all need sleep and it is when we are most vulnerable. What could happen? So, I like the idea of this because, and maybe this is just me, it kinda has a Freddy Krueger feel even if it is a far cry from Freddy.
Sleep no more imdb trial#
After a clinical trial goes tragically wrong, they attempt another trial on themselves sure that they are on the verge of a break through. All in all, it's an okay film, but not ambitious to stand out.What if when we are deprived of sleep we not only take away our own mental functionality but we deprive something out in the great unknown of something it needs as well? A group of folks look into treating sleep as an illness theorizing that if they could find a medication to get rid of the "illness" we would no longer need sleep. The film simply does not distinguish itself, we see the major arcs complete before they do, and are ultimately left unimpressed by the ending. It's not lackluster but it's also not distinctive. This is due to poor set-up and decreasing realism. The script tries to give us twists and turns, yet they are never as impactful as the film hopes they are. The direction is competent, and keeps the film moving at a good solid pace. Their dynamic on screen represents the most exciting aspect of the film, with Kidman selling her role with great skill. However, the film does turn in three laudable performances from its better than average cast, headlined by Oscar winners Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth.
The film certainly has shades of other similarly themed thrillers, such as memento, so it can't be given too much credit for its premise. Left bewildered, she is left to put the pieces together to create one horrible puzzle. When a woman undergoes a horrific accident, suffers a brain disorder causing her short-term memory to be wiped out each day. Well-acted, competently composed, but derivative, Before I Go to Sleep does enough to keep you interested for its short run, but not enough to make you remember it much before you decide to go to sleep yourself.
