Dead Awake: Rather bland

PlotA young woman must save herself and her friends from an ancient evil that stalks its victims through the real-life phenomenon of sleep paralysis.CastJesse "What happened to his career Bradford and the always delightful Lori Petty star.VerdictThe very concept of sleep paralysis is horrifying but how does it translate into a horror movie? Well, not very well at all.You see part of me actually wanted to like it, the execution was actually fairly decent here but what they were executing was lacklustre at best.Our antagonist looked pretty poor, the sleep sequences used a very oversaturated filter, the characters were rather wooden and as much as I wanted to be engaged I found the movie rather pushing me away.Dead Awake is not a bad film, it's just a film with no real identity, that failed to impress and perhaps could have used a stronger leading lady.RantsThe cover features an image with a spider, no spoilers here but that is in fact a scene in the movie and though I have no arachnophobia I have to say that was the one single scene that got any kind of reaction out of me. You ever seen the meme with the guy counting numbers with a sombre looking on his face until he reaches 69 then he has a slight smile then returns to sombre with number 70 and beyond? That was me with this film and that scene, a glimmer, a moment of reaction and then back to the ho-hum.The GoodLori Petty A couple of interesting ideasThe BadLead could have been better Predictable Filter/Antagonist were distractingly weak.

How to say this respectfully !!! It was just not good .. at all.

So first i gotta complement Jocelin Donahue ,, she did well in the beginning of the movie doing the two sisters roles ,, but the movie plot was just bad ,, the script was slow for a Horror/Thriller genre ,, watched it on my laptop "thankfully" so i kept on speeding up to see the good part till i found myself in the credits :D

The cast was okay ,, i watched Jesse Bradford before "in a comedy" :D so this was weird ,, Jesse Borrego "Dr. Hassan" was just not sensible to be a psychiatric , and even Lori Petty "Dr. Sykes" was so obvious and not engaging .

My advice find some other movie to watch ,, Not recommended.

One of the best films on that metaphysical entity that appears during sleep paralysis. Recommended to the fans of metaphysical horror films

Metaphysical horror movie. The film focuses on a metaphysical entity that occurs over the centuries and around the world in many cases of paralysis during sleep. Each different culture has given it a different name like Mora. The film has a very interesting plot, quite well written and with convincing acting, while it had enough suspense and some plot twists. However, it is a bit long in duration and therefore has breaks in the suspense, I would prefer to be shorter and maintain the suspense throughout. Very good overall and above average. Recommended for the fans of the genre.
