While We Sleep

source: While We Sleep

This movie is extremely unbelievable from a western perspective. People from the hospital don't just come stay at your house, priests don't attack you than wait till morning and tell you why they're there, nor does explain how he came across her, but my biggest confusion which I'm hoping someone can explain to me is how did her electric fish turn real and us her daughter really back alive? And the lady seems more intrigued with the fish than the daughter that's suddenly there after being dead for years!!!!

Unbelievably lame, stupid waste of my time, thankfully it was free. Mostly in English, some parts are in Ukraine ( language they speak I have no idea) who knows if those parts were important to hear or not ???

Another ignorant movie that has many scenes which are spoken in a foreign language, obviously important information to the movie but all they put for a subtitle is, "speaking foreign language". So you go through half the movie not knowing what is going on, unless you speak every language out there that is. Morons!

I'd rather be possessed by the devil then watch this movie again. Acting bad. Terrible dialogue. Boring. Focused on Covergirl walking shots too much. Minutes go buy without a point. Nothing is explained. Ending was so bad our jaws dropped. Funny to make fun of but easily worst movie ever made lol.

First, don't confuse your audience by basing your film in Kiev yet beginning it like a completely American film then tossing in complete conversations in Russian with no subtitles. The central family all speak English, no accents, live in a million dollar house, he's an artist and we don't know what she does. Yet she "spent time" there as a kid, moved there later, fluent AF. This whole film had the makings of a pretty good horror film, they forgot the horror. Sleep Doc wasn't researched, they could have done better and her character didn't really need a backstory. Terrible intro of the priest, wayyy too "oh I saw your drawing". Then he beats her up at the door?? Terrible impersonation of Paul Bellamy I might add. Maybe, if they try again, they can find Demon Voice #2.

Loved it! I couldn't understand the foreign language parts because closed caption fail to translate certain scenes, but I got the overall gist of it except for the very last scene. Can anyone tell me what was the very last conversation of the very last scene? Seems to have been in Ukrainian or Russian.

Wow...@thorr-3. Grow up... When you "were growing up in Belimia?" First off, that's an eating disorder, not a place. Second, not cool joking about eating disorders. Ok about this actual movie. It has/had some potential, sadly though I can't remember the last time I watched a movie with such gaping, glaring plot holes in it. I mean these are really bad and at the end of the movie you just have an absurd amount of questions because of these plot holes. So, terrible writing is the first big strike. So, yeah, towards the end of the movie, yep the end of it, you find out the "dad" isn't the real dad of the girl being possessed, it's some dude named Alexander. Who's Alexander you ask? Great question, let me know when you find out the answer cause I sure as heck don't know and the movie doesn't tell you! Yet this guy plays a HUGE intricate part in the storyline! Not only is he the girls real dad, he's dead, and he apparently battled this demon and destroyed his body according to the demon, and the demon is going after the girl as vengeance against Alexander! Yep! The dead guy who we know nothing about and learn nothing about but his name when it's bomb dropped on us TOWARDS THE END OF THE MOVIE! Next we have this priest who you get a quick background but he's in the forefront image of in the beginning of the movie and you don't even realize the two points connect until that's right, towards the end of the movie again! Yeah he just pops in like Superman to save the day. You learn nothing about him but he sure as hell knows all about Alexander and who he is. Does he share any of that info with us? Nope. Thanks Father... Yeah and he just dies, apparently it was the only way to vex the demon entirely. Yep, in fact he's the only person to die in the whole movie! A guy that just pops in towards the end that we learn nothing about and have zero time to make any kind of connection to so yeah his death is just blah. Next issue, movie takes place in the Ukraine apparently and while the majority of it is in English, I know right? Kinda weird, there are multiple parts where they just bust out talking Ukrainian and do we get any of it translated? NOPE! Just get to sit there wondering what the heck they just said to watch other. Oh and apparently the mom is Ukrainian ancestry, dad is 100% American and everyone is Ukrainian and speaks with a heavy heavy accent. Oh and the kid is American born but they moved to Ukraine cause it's such a step up apparently for the family. Last, the actors did well, the movie was shot well and looks good, not cheap or anything like that, but that's nowhere near enough to even salvage this movie with those horrible plot holes and just terrible lazy writing. This movie is just an all around stinker and can definitely and deservingly be missed.

What can I say? Boring, unoriginal and crappy story. Even in mediocre horror flicks there should be an attempt at some character development but not in this movie. One should go into this as if getting ready to watch a SYFY Channel orginal movie. Your take will be "It's not that good, I've seen it done before, and why didn't I watch something else."

I wasn't sure how good this film was going to be. To be honest it started off quite good, particularly with the birthday cake incident. Then there was the changes in Cora. But then the pace began to slow. Also the incident with the sleep professional who was monitoring Cora during the night did not make sense to the point that she was supposed to be awake but when the key incident happened with the swimming pool she fell asleep. The big issue with this is that you never saw her sleeping during the day, so how was she supposed to stay awake all night aswell. Only by about three quarters through the film as it began to metamorph itself into something like a low budget exorcist film did the pace quicken. I agree with others to the fact that the acting at times was abysmal as well as the direction of the film. For me the ending seemed a little rushed and needed a little more time. On a good note I would say the special effects were decent enough. On the whole I would say it was ok to watch but nothing to write home about.
