Yash B @yashbansal May 13 "Before I Wake" doesn't stand as one of my favorite horror movies, but I still feel it is an inventive one brought by Mike Flanagan. I think he went on to make better projects after this one, but it was interesting checking it out. I do think at times it is creepy and even scary, but it is definitely more of a drama movie with some supernatural horror infused into the premise. I feel somewhat conflicted by the ending of the movie and think it should have ended with a different vibe and feeling. Overall, it is one of many horror movies that are about grief, and as a whole, it is a decent one-time watch for genre fans.

It's a lovely family drama about a gifted boy whose dreams become real. Very imaginative. Wonderful story, beautifully acted by the little boy and by Kate Bosworth. If you like movies, such as Robin Williams What Dreams May Come, which I do, you will probably really love this movie. It has a beautiful modern Gothic quality.

Unfortunately I found the storytelling to be bland and the horror to be underwhelming. I liked a few of the plot points but overall found it to be dull. I didn’t like how the horror was on and off you could clearly tell when it was supposed to be scary and the movie failed to build suspense at any point for me. Great premise mediocre execution. Not a movie that I’d watch again and again but interesting enough that it’s quite enjoyable.

This talent only manifests itself when the young boys a sleep and is dreaming and it later transforms into the the realm of the living. Film stars,Kate Bosworth and Thomas Jane. This film is a supernatural film slash thriller it is very well done and directed. For all the supernatural fans out there and fans of movie thrillers this one’s for you I enjoyed it very much and I think this is a film that is suited for most all ages. As always parents discretion is advised. See more acsdoug D @acsdoug Oct 12 Simply not very scary, and in between its attempts at being scary the film is just plain sappy.
