About
You may enjoy this if you like supernatural thrillers built around sleep paralysis, a dark mood, and occasional jump scares; Not for you if you want originality, tight logic, or strong scares throughout, like in 13 Cameras.
Pros: creepy sleep-paralysis premise; a few jumpy moments; solid lead performance | Cons: predictable demon-horror beats; plot holes and clichés; uneven pacing, repetitive
