About

You might enjoy this if creepy supernatural stories and sleep-paralysis fears get under your skin, especially if you liked Be Afraid or Grace: The Possession; Not for you if you want polished acting or a highly original plot.

Pros: creepy sleep-paralysis premise; a few strong scares; no gore overload | Cons: weak acting; uneven dialogue; forgettable overall
