The Sleep: Survival Horror - Part One

Most people are being too harsh on this film.

The film was very entertaining. Although the film seems to be obviously low to mid range budget the cinematography was engaging and on point with the dark horror/theme atmospheric theme. The movie was well cast. The viewer can enjoy seeing the character's personality shine with a wide array of acting styles and diverse set of faces (which is quite a change since lately hollywood has seemed very segregated). The best part of the whole film was the plot twist. Personally, I am a huge fan of M. Night Shyamalan, particularly, because of the plot twists in his films. I hope to watch part two if it's released!

It's 2022 and people can't seem to make a GOOD HORROR MOVIE. Who are the idiots that dump money into these projects thinking, "oh we got a banger on hands!" Acting is so horrendous, the best they can do is scream, moan and make noise... They think the louder they do it, the better it is or something. They mix real life problems into harry fkn potter/exorcism/paranormal activity/world war z. That they don't know what they want people to watch, yet they assume people want part 2, by letting you know this is only 1. So if your looking for a horror movie, go watch the exorcism of God(hands down something much different and better).

I rarely see a movie that I can't sit through. This is one of those rarities.

The movie starts like a typical horror flick from the 60's or 70's, where they try to set a mood with ominous title cards warning you about the thrills and chills that are to come. Next we 're shown a parody TV commercial for an anti-depressant. Kind of on the nose if you ask me, but.... Then we are shown a news broadcast decrying the number of mass murders lately, with the most recent having occurred in a library. And then... we have the one statement that we know is going to set the pace for the remainder of the movie. On of the chicks quips about how sick she is of guns and that guns need to be outlawed - "AR-15s are only made for one thing - to kill people! Why does anybody need an AR-15?!" Right there you know that this is going to be one intelligent, thought provoking train wreck...

From there on out, the majority of what I saw was filmed almost completely in the dark with a bunch of idiots screaming and yelling incoherently. You can't see what's happening. You can't make out any single voices. Nothing that DOES happen makes the least amount of sense.

Don't just NOT watch this. Actively RUN from this as fast as you can. You do NOT want ANY of this trash rubbing off on you. You might not ever get it out.

There are all kinds of crap. Enjoyable crap, not so enjoyable crap, entertaining crap, memorable crap, forgettable crap, bearable crap, intolerable crap, and excrement. This embarrassment is the latter.

This is not a scary movie. At all. This is a group of amateurs who think they've made a horror movie about drugs, magic, zombies and "medical experiments". It is so embarrassingly bad that words cannot describe it. To hide the lousy quality, the f-word is overused right through the entire movie. Also, the actors stare right into the camera and scream - a directing thing that belonged in the 60s. Everything is bad in that production: acting, directing, script, effects, scenery, make-up, props, everything feels cheap, unprofessional and amateurish to the point of being comical. I don't know what this bunch of unknown C actors had in mind, but whatever it was, it didn't work. Save your time and skip this one.
