🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its dread by relying on the very real, visceral fear of sleep paralysis, giving its supernatural menace an unsettling, relatable anchor. It explores the themes of inherited trauma and grief, gradually blurring the line between waking life and nightmare.

Those who tire of jump-scares will find a slower, more atmospheric build of terror here. What lingers after the credits is a palpable unease about closing your own eyes. — MovieFinder Editorial
