While We Sleep

If you're having trouble sleeping, this is the movie to watch. Nothing even remotely scary happens and you couldn't care less about the characters. The demon was as lame as you get. Super Naturals were more scary.

Right, well, "While We Sleep" I slept too. Man, talk about a swing and a miss of a movie.

Sure, I will admit that I was initially suckered into watching the 2021 horror movie "While We Sleep" on the account that it was a horror movie that I hadn't already seen. And yeah, the movie's cover wasn't all that bad; a bit cheesy, but not overly bad.

I hadn't even heard about "While We Sleep" prior to sitting down and watching it. So I wasn't sure what to expect from writers Brian Gross and Rich Ronat. But I certainly was expecting a horror movie. But that is not what director Andrzej Sekula delivered. Well, unless you consider an unfathomably dull and slow paced movie to be horror.

The storyline written by Brian Gross and Rich Ronat was just insanely boring and uneventful. There was literally and virtually nothing of any interest happening throughout the course of the movie, so the run time of 92 minutes was quite a struggle to sit through. And I have to be honest, I drifted off to sleep twice throughout the ordeal that is known as "While We Sleep".

I wasn't familiar with the cast in the movie, and that is usually something I enjoy in movies. But the actors and actresses in "While We Sleep" had a snowballs chance in Hell of delivering anything worthwhile, as they had a non-existing script to work with, rigid dialogue and characters with the appeal of stepping on rusted nails.

"While We Sleep" was a swing and a miss of a horror movie. And if you, like me, do enjoy horror movies, then do yourself a mighty favor and stay well clear of this stinker. It simply isn't worth the time, money or effort.

My rating of "While We Sleep" lands on a one out of ten stars. This is definitely one of the worst and most boring horror movies I have had the misfortune of suffering through.

I'd rather be possessed by the devil then watch this movie again. Acting bad. Terrible dialogue. Boring. Focused on Covergirl walking shots too much. Minutes go buy without a point. Nothing is explained. Ending was so bad our jaws dropped. Funny to make fun of but easily worst movie ever made lol.

Movie started out well enough - good production value, interesting story. Was enjoying until about 10 minutes in when there was an entire scene where the actors were all speaking Ukrainian, with no English subtitles. Since I don't speak Ukrainian I had to stop watching. Very disappointing.

This could have been a good film. Some nicely creepy moments (despite the more than slightly done-to-death plotline), and the kid actor plays her part well.

Unfortunately, she's in the minority; rarely have I seen such atrocious acting. From the pouting, barely intelligible female lead to the incongruously cockney priest, things go rapidly on a downward slope from early on, taking the whole thing from promisingly spooky into the realms of the ridiculous, not to mention predictable.

If it had been slightly cringier it could almost have been a spoof, but sadly it stops short of that point, resulting in a flat, boring waste of time. Sorry.
