Sleep No More – Wach bis in den Tod (2017)

Sleep No More – Wach bis in den Tod: Directed by Phillip Guzman. With Keli Price, Brea Grant, Stephen Ellis, Christine Dwyer. A group of graduate students conduct a sleep deprivation study in the 80s, but something goes terribly wrong with a test subject. After their department is shut down, the team moves forward in secret – only this time on themselves.

“What if when we are deprived of sleep we not only take away our own mental functionality but we deprive something out in the great unknown of something it needs as well? A group of folks look into treating sleep as an illness theorizing that if they could find a medication to get rid of the u0026quot;illnessu0026quot; we would no longer need sleep. After a clinical trial goes tragically wrong, they attempt another trial on themselves sure that they are on the verge of a break through. What could happen?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo, I like the idea of this because, and maybe this is just me, it kinda has a Freddy Krueger feel even if it is a far cry from Freddy. We all need sleep and it is when we are most vulnerable. We have no idea what goes on while we are sleeping. So, I like the idea but the delivery could have been much better.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is a slowly paced film and I got the feeling that it is supposed to be set in the 80u0026#39;s from the music and some of the clothing. There isnu0026#39;t a lot of character building so you never really get a chance to become invested in these characters. The acting and effects werenu0026#39;t too cheesy even though it is clearly a lower budgeted film. This isnu0026#39;t a polished film with all the works but it isnu0026#39;t that bad as far as low budget films go. This is one you really have to watch and come to your own conclusions as to whether it is good or not. For me it is a u0026quot;Mehu0026quot; film.”
