The Sleep: Survival Horror - Part One

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.

This was bad from the get-go , but when they threw in a magic wand i had to abandon all hope that this would have any redeeming value.

The characters have the emotional maturity of 3 year olds . Their response to everything is scream and throw a tantrum . The director should have a restraining order , preventing him from getting within 500 feet of any camera , permanently .

I've seen a lot of bad movies in my life but this by far is the worst. The acting was absolutely terrible and over exaggerated. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I counted the unnecessary f bombs in this movie it was a waste of film, time, and money. The only good thing about the movie was the cover photo. Seriously do better. If I could I'd give this a zero star review.

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.

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!
