So much average

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

So, The scary bit is in the first 5 minutes when Liam sees a big tall skinny monster in the middle of the night. The rest of it is a very calm slow moving movie that isn't gem trying to live up to its them as a horror. The only reason I stuck around to wat h is because I hav Sleep Parasomnia and it was interesting to see how the movie messed up on its realism, i.e. at one point Alice (the doctor lady) says to a little girl that she has parasomnia, however parasomnia is REALLY rare in anyone who isn't a 40 year old overweight man. Which Alice should have mentioned. Also any normal, intelligent doctor would have prescribed Colaznepan or some other sleeping disorder tablets that deliberately paralysises people so they can't get up and walk around a night and do strang stuff. Alice should have prescribed this to a lot of the patients in this movie.The sleep disorder centre, (the over night one) the kit they had the patients in, like the wires and stuff they had on their heads should have been a lot bigger and had lots of wires and control boxes all over them along with a big netting mask over their heads. Apart from all the continuity errors this movie is dull, but unique, it's crtainly not trying to scare anyone but it has touched on an area that hasn't been explored much in the world of horror movies.

REVIEW - SLUMBERThe night hag or old hag is a creature from the folklore of various peoples which is used to explain the phenomenon of sleep paralysis. It is a phenomenon during which a person feels a presence of a supernatural malevolent being which immobilizes the person as if sitting on his/her chest or the foot of his/her bed. The word "night-mare" or nightmare " was used to describe this phenomenon before the word acquired its modern, more general meaning. Various cultures have various names for this phenomenon and/or supernatural character.This film uses this premise in an interesting using this to hang the story being told in the film upon. As with the subject of the film watching it I felt I was being put through my own nightmare experiencing paralysis sitting here on my sofa, while it is interesting and watchable the film uses all the old cliches to try to enhance the story when it didn't need to do so. The Dr with the vested interest, Not watching a certain video taof 10e until the following day, The idea to save the day (which is impossible by the way). The night porter / cleaner knowing more than they let on, And many more. There is one very pleasant surprise, Silvester McCoy! yes Dr Who! Rating 4 out o

Watch this dull if you have troubles to fall a sleep, trust me, its way better than any other drug. It starts with a good premise on a real problem but soon it all morphs in a dull-slow paced- scareless- over the top acting mess. Maggie Q does her part effectively but the remain cast seem like they were taken out of the Muppet Show. Terrible acting. All in all a two stars rating for Maggie Q´s performance, and for my afternoon nap.

I found myself trying to stay awake watching this one
