Anna, grieving the sudden death of her parents, relocates from New York to a small Florida town to live with the grandmother she has never met. Isolated, vulnerable, and in need of friends, she finds brief solace in the company of two local teens. But when she becomes complicit to their unforgivable act of violence, she finds herself ensnared by Mr. Sandman – the twisted soul of a tormented child who haunts bullies’ dreams before feasting on their eyeballs when they finally wake - Anna must right her wrong before becoming a victim of this gruesome curse.

🔍 Search on JustWatch →Horror that understands fear is built on mounting discomfort, not jump scares. The director doesn't rush, and rightly so. The tension here is physical.
A strong first half sags near the end when the filmmakers start explaining. Horror should leave gaps, not fill them. But the enjoyment remains.
Good for a late-night viewing with someone who appreciates tension. Not for the faint of heart.

Best Watched: Late night, darkness, alone or with one other person. Not as background — horror requires concentration.
