Beautiful visuals and color grading. A lot of people hated the ending but I liked it. [spoiler]Essentially my interpretation is that everything is really happening, but it's being interpreted through the limited sensory perception of a coma patient. Sarah is in a coma in a real test study with a number of other coma patients. The researchers are really doing experiments on her trying to get her out of her coma. Each of the characters are real and they are either present day people trying to help her, or memories from before her coma. The movie is her psyche putting together the memories of her life and the attempts in the present day to bring her out of the coma.[/spoiler]

I''m sorry, but a really really interesting concept, and a very intriguing first half of the film just completely falls apart in the second half. It was similar to John Snow finding out he was Aegon Targaryen, but then meaning absolutely jack shit to the story. Such a great premise that was ruined by an ending that i''d expect in a 7th grade creative writing class.

The most unique movie I have seen in years! Deeply unsettling, beguiling, always discomforting, smart and sometimes even hypnotic. Camera, sound and score are amazing. Check this one out if you can, it has the potential to become big.

[Sitges FF] The shadow. Rarely have shadows produced so much chill. The multi-faceted director builds a superb representation of the world of dreams / nightmares. It achieves an atmosphere of constant unease, thanks to a claustrophobic cinematography of grays and blues, in which reality and dreams are progressively confused, and to one of the best scores of the genre this year. We end up immersed in a world of dreams, trapped in a nightmare from which we have no escape.

stylish as hell with pretty visuals, great music/score (especially loved the one Electric Youth track), and even a genuine sense of investment as to figuring out what's going on. unfortunately even at pushing two hours things ended up feeling a bit underbaked (which isn't to speak about some of the other developments...) with the ending especially giving whiplash. feel like the execution of said ending was giving The Devil Inside levels of abruptness but at least the surroundings for this movie were more respectable so it didn't burn quite as bad but god lmao.

Come True (2020) - โคx4 Standard Sleep Study story... with monsters of course. But there's nothing new or interesting here. . . I might have been a little hasty about nothing new. There is a new angle to this movie that I can not recall ever seeing before. . . and then suddenly it was about vampires? At best this is simply an incomplete movie/story. I would skip it. How I rate: 1-3 โค = seriously! don't waste your time 4-6 โค = you may or may not enjoy this 7-8 โค = I expect you will like this too 9-10 โค = movies and TV shows I really love!

Interesting premise on dreams. Movie was alright in general they couldโ€™ve done better but I did really like the ending.

There is a lot to like about this film but the ending unravels it all. A simple ending cut of 10 seconds would do nicely.

3rd act is bad and undermines the 1st and 2nd

Saying itโ€™s pretty bad is quite a compliment.

The film is very methodical about what it shows, and when. Which some people will see as slow. That will turn off some people. The ending, some may not like it because it is not tied up into a perfect bow with a satisfying resolution, which I feel is untrue within the full context of the movie. The dialogue is space and purposefully placed in the movie. The look, feel, sound of the movie all take part to build this movie into something great. I almost wouldn't say it is a horror movie, but it does scratch that same itch regardless of what category you put it into. I am annoyed that this somehow slipped past me till now. It is very good.

In my top 10 this goes. Loved it the first time I watched it on Shudder but I found the bluray. So instead of 720p (Shudder only goes up to 720p) I finally watched it in full HD. And it's even better. The atmosphere. The lighting. The music. The cinematography. The pacing. The superb acting. This movie is neigh on perfect.

i almost did not see this movie and oh boy, am i glad that i did. i did not expect sucht a beautiful movie. the soundtrack lets you drift away while you experience something unique and unsettling which scared me more that so much other horror movies. while watching i knew this movie will def give me nightmares. i had immediatly go online and buy the bluray and the soundtrack and i am looking forward to watch it again and again. def something special. well done!

Steaming hot pile of shit. Interesting 15 mins then completely fucked me - wasting my entire 1hr+ of nothingness. Go watch the YouTube trailer - that's the movie.

Very interesting. Definitely misclassified as horror...although there are some horrific imagery. The premise is a pretty cool idea, though I feel like the director added a whole bunch of lingering shots and deliberately slow pacing to give more of an art-house vibe. Others have said that they didn''t like the ending, and I can see why. This is an instance where ''show-don''t-tell'' really could have been more effective than the route taken (they literally spell out the ending for you). Ultimately, it does wrap up an otherwise confusing and aimless story.

Wasnโ€™t sure what to expect but I really enjoyed this. Glad I watched it hours before I fell asleep otherwise I might have had some problems.

Great first hour, with scenes of creeping dread and nightmarish visions. Sadly, the payoff underwhelms, but it still leaves an unsettling mark on the mindโ€ฆone that could threaten to haunt your dreams.

Not really horror... more like [spoiler] psychological thriller [/spoiler], not sure if actual spoiler or not!

Like friendship, this was pretty good until it veered into romance. A homeless 18-year-old signs up for a sleep study where all the subjects begin dreaming of the same creature. It''s a good idea, well directed (the nightmare sequences are especially well handled) with a decent cast and the intrigue is preserved throughout the first two thirds of the film, but the script runs and bleeds beneath the puddle of cheap perfume romance they spill all over the story towards the end.
