I still wonder why there are so few horror flicks about sleep paralysis...

A movie with a great pace to watch, and despite not being at all original in its theme, the story has a good structure, developing very well, winning the viewer over by the investigation that takes place, and by the good scary scenes, some of which are more distressing. The performances are solid and do what is necessary for the movie to unfold well, maintaining the feeling of fear and curiosity.

*The Ring* meets *A Nightmare of Elm Street*. A take on sleep paralysis, sleep deprevation and people going nuts on what's real and what's not. It's not as cool as it sounds though, it's nothing we haven't seen before and brings nothing new. The only sleep paralysis scene I enjoyed was the one at the beginning of the third act, the others were mediocre. Cool look for the sleep demon Mara she was creepy as hell towards the end. Acting was fine, weak scares, story was lacking, it got sooo cliché real quick but the worst crime was the pacing.

The ending was quite obvious in a way but kind of wasted the story.

The mythology behind the film was pure hokum, but despite the ridiculous story, this actually managed to keep me awake for the entire running time. Not bad for a film about people experiencing evil while in a deep sleep state!

Mara is a poorly made and uninspired rote horror film. The story follows a forensic psychologist named Kate Fuller who comes to believe that a sleep demon named Mara is responsible for a series of bizarre murders and begins to work with a former vet to find a way to stop her. Olga Kurylenko is horribly miscast and isn’t the least bit believable as a forensic psychologist. And the director pulls out every hackney cliché and trope in the book, making the film look desperate. Completely ineffective, Mara isn’t at all frightening and doesn’t deliver any scares (even the jump scares are lame).

THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME AND WAY MORE ACCURATE AND BASE ON A REAL ISSUE THAN THE GRUDGE ARE THE RING COULD EVER BE. I HAVE SUFFERED WITH THIS SAME PARALYSED CONDITION FROM BEING A CHILD AND DESCRIBED THE EXACT SAME DETAILS AD IN THE FILM AND THIS WAS 45 YEARS AGO SO I''M A MASSIVE LOVER OF THIS EXCELLENT MOVIE FOR ME IT''S A 10/10 I''VE STUDIE AND LOOKED INTO THIS AND YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE AND DO SUFFER THIS AROUND THE WORLD, IT''S A SERIOUSLY COMMON ISSUE. AND BEEN AROUND AS LONG AS WELL HUMANS GAVE REQUIRED SLEEP. THANK GOD I DON''T SUFFER NOW FROM IT AS AN ADULT AS I HAVE LEARNT CERTAIN TECHNIQUES OVER MANY YEARS PLUS I HARDLY EVER SLEEP. REAL BAD INSOMNIA, hm I wonder why. BUT BELIEVE ME I''M NOT ALONE AND MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE SINCE THE DAWN OF HUMANITY CAN''T BE WRONG. BEWARE THE SHADOW MEN Fantastic to see a movie done on it. And done so well.

Pretty poor to be fair. Wish I''d slept through it.

Wasn’t brilliant, wasn’t awful. It’s a similar plot that’s been done so many times. However, the suspense etc was not to bad and I think this would be scary to lots of people.
