Before I Wake (2016)



Another good one from Mike Flanagan. Liked the simplicity of the plot and that bit moving finale too. My only complain was Kate Bosworth playing the important role of the mother. She's like another Kristen Stewart, who as an actress only possess certain type of emotion/reaction all throughout a movie that eventually becomes annoying to watch, resulting a dull & to some extent, failed portrayal of a character that has significant part in the movie.

Btw, in that old family picture with their deceased son, was that really Thomas Jane in that pic?!? I think that was another guy!

>>: B+

Ditto! or a crossover flick with Elm Street! as that kid got enough talent to bring Freedy into the real world! Or she could take her into "Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters" at the end...by revealing the fact that the whole story was actually set in the X-Men universe!
