Crappy film

... View MoreJust intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
... View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
... View MoreThis is truly one of those movies that for me could have been freaking awesome. It went in directions that I often WISH horror movies would go it, but sadly the writing and plot jumps were just too much.I remember telling our daughter when she was younger, as she would relay a story about something happening, she would leave out an obvious trigger of some sort (usually one that didn't put her in the best light in the story) and then she would jump to the next part of the story, and I would stop her and tell her there is no way that she did this, and then the other person did that. There was obviously something that happened in between. Well, this movie was made completely and totally without that logic. So many times there is a line like "As a kid I felt there were two sides, this other me that was capable of such evil" and the other person goes "Oh, that's OK" Like it's just totally normal. Truly this movie could have been so much, but instead it was just what it was, a swing and a miss.
... View MoreBy the end of Don't Sleep I felt bad, the ending was so interesting that I wished that I had enjoyed the film. But I didn't, I simply couldn't.Starring Cary Elwes (Princess Bride, Saw, Top Gun) and Drea De Matteo (Joey, The Sopranos) but both as side characters this supernatural thriller staggers along at a dreadful pace from start to finish.The story a mess, the creation abysmal and yet there was something there something frustratingly beneath the surface but unable to break free.In the hands of a decent writer this could have been something quite watchable but Don't Sleep is far from that in its present form.The Good: Well the ending was certainly interesting Cary Elwes The Bad:Lame/dull leads Dreadful story Things I Learnt From This Movie: I learnt that we had a backup pack of ibuprofen at the back of our cupboard for the headache this 95 minute embarrassment gave me
... View MoreZach (Dash Williams/Dominic Sherwood) has bad realistic dreams as a child and is uncontrollable. Thirteen years later he is an adult in law school living with Shawn (Charlbi Dean Kriek). His dreams come back and people around him start getting hurt, raped, and killed.Zach has psychological problems, but things happen not related to the illness. The film drops lousy clues. They explain the plot in the last eight minutes, turning it into a WTF production, and not a "see how clever we are" ending. I won't say the ending ruined the film, it wasn't that great to begin with. Where did grandpa get that shiny chain and what did he attach it to? Guide: F-word, sex, rape. No nudity.
... View MoreComplete Shiite. The music is too loud; poorly mixed. Some good actors, some average actors, and some no name actors- none of which brought any level of interest to this flop of a horror flick. Poor script, poor directing, and sub par acting and special effects. Rick James Four Thumbs Down 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
