I still wonder why there are so few horror flicks about sleep paralysis...

a good movie , very good acting, good suspens, nothing very original but 1Hour 40 of cinema well done I liked this one very correct

A movie centered around a criminal investigation but nobody in this production was bothered to do any research on how a criminal investigation is done. I don't know either, but I know suspects are not left standing unguarded at the crime scene, they are entitled lawyers and that criminal psychologists don't assume the paranormal rather than the one obvious suspect. And shouldn't she be doing criminal psychologist stuff and understand the mind of the suspect rather than jumping into her parallel police investigation where she stumbles across all the crucial information that the asshole police detective is missing? And being a psychologist she has never heard about sleep paralysis? Well, it seems the leader of the support group too has a casual understanding on the subject. I went in because it was supposed to have an original approach to sleep paralysis but I can't say there was much original about it. Once it was going it was pretty much the expected derivative exposition, the usual dark filter digital effects, and of course the twitchy raspy klicky anorexic spooky ghost lady being popularised by J-horror some thirty years ago. And the narrative driven by the main character tiresomely (heh) talking through everything. I pretty quickly went skipping forward through it because it is garbage. Garbage script, garbage production, garbage jump scares and by all my nightly demons that is some garbage vanity movie level acting all over. Don't bother. There is nothing original to see here.

*The Ring* meets *A Nightmare of Elm Street*. A take on sleep paralysis, sleep deprevation and people going nuts on what's real and what's not. It's not as cool as it sounds though, it's nothing we haven't seen before and brings nothing new. The only sleep paralysis scene I enjoyed was the one at the beginning of the third act, the others were mediocre. Cool look for the sleep demon Mara she was creepy as hell towards the end. Acting was fine, weak scares, story was lacking, it got sooo cliché real quick but the worst crime was the pacing.

Wasn’t brilliant, wasn’t awful. It’s a similar plot that’s been done so many times. However, the suspense etc was not to bad and I think this would be scary to lots of people.
