Wow! Such a good movie.

Simply A Masterpiece

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

In the near future a young woman becomes a sleepwalker; her body is programmed to do menial labor while she is asleep. However, she starts to suffer disturbing side effects and embarks upon a dangerous journey to uncover what sleepworkers are really being made to do while unconscious… As far as I am aware, this idea has never been presented before, and it is brilliant. Even outside of a horror setting, it would make a good concept and easily has some aspects that are thought-provoking. The tone reminded me a lot of "Gattaca", in a very good way.I would love to see this transition into a feature film. Much like "Mama" went from a short to a feature, I think there is a lot of potential here -- the short is good, but a world this complex could be stretched to 90 minutes without any difficulty.
