Sleep

How to avoid an overflow of spoilers while expressing respect for this film? This is the kind of horror that gets inside your head and sets up housekeeping for a long, long time after the credits roll. Personally this is a far scarier film than any slasher flick overflowing with screamers, knives and masked lunatics. Why? Jung Yu-mi's performance for one--this is obvious as she delivers a believable transformation of the wife. Then there's Lee Sun-kyun's equally solid performance of a different sort--as loving husband/father willing to go the extra mile to overcome obstacles together. If you're not wondering what's really going on with him by the end then that's on you, not Lee. What a great pair of performances which unfortunately will not be repeated. Much respect.

Jam (or Sleep for the English title) is another good movie from South-Korea. Definitely one of my favourite countries when it's about movies. Writer/director Jason Yu made an easy to follow and entertaining movie. Categorized on here as a comedy horror mystery thriller. You can remove comedy and horror as it was neither of those two. Mysterious it was for sure, thrilling as well. Good suspense keeps you focussed all the time. The small cast, only four different actors, were very believable in their roles. The proof you don't need a big cast or a big budget to make a decent movie. Worth a watch.

Sleep isn't a masterpiece but it's a pretty good debut from Jason Yu with strong directing, interesting writing and great performances from the cast members. Yu's direction and writing does a pretty good job on balancing out the tones of comedy and horror and creating a good sense of tense and terrifying atmospheres surrounding the setting and characters. The main premise is definitely very interesting as I don't see many movies focus on horror elements regarding sleepwalking or so forth. The narrative, while does have some faults and could have explored certain aspects a little more, is solid with good dialogue and executions being satisfying. All of the performances are really good as each of the cast members does a good job on performing their characters. The soundtrack, production sets and the dialogue is pretty good too. While some depth in the characters could have been explored a bit, I found the characters to be entertaining to observe. There are some moments that were well-executed, especially a scene regarding PowerPoint's that was really entertaining. On the structure, the movie is a slow-burn but not once the movie felt slow or dull. Overall, I am impressed with Jason Yu's first feature. No doubt there are some flaws but Yu's talent is pretty impressive enough to not overshadow the entire movie. I look forward to see what Jason Yu can offer in the future with his talents.

Terrific premise for a movie that really delivers - sure the cliched horror movie scares run through much of the film but everything is performed in such an imaginative and inventive way that you are fascinated - engaged - and thoroughly frightened - Sleep has a great premise - two loving individuals have their world turned upside down by the husbands sleep walking - sleep walking that turns into a horror show as the film moves forward - is he having a psychotic break ? Is it really a sleep disorder ? Or is there something more sinister in the works? Who is the really crazy person here? Noone is safe as the movie progresseses..and while an overall simple movie it is powerful in its delivery - with characters that are very well developed - and two dogs that are essential to the overall plot - and a power drill - enough said - Lots of fun! Delivers the goods !!

I thoroughly enjoyed this. I'm a very light sleeper, so I can't relate to sleepwalking and problems that occur during deep sleep really, but this one really pulled me in and had some genuinely creepy moments. If you're a dog lover like me just a heads up that there are a couple scenes that may be triggering. From what I understand this is Jason Yu's debut film and in my opinion that's very impressive. I hope to see more movies from him in the future. If you're a horror fan I highly recommend this one and that you do what I did and watch it at night as there are a lot of dimly lit scenes. This is a 8.5/10 to me.
