Storyline;
Kate Bowman is an average
social worker that is investigating in the mysterious deaths of people who died
in their sleep. Shortly before their deaths, the victims all reported a
supernatural force that appeared to them while they were suffering from
sleep-paralysis. When Kate investigates further into the case, she opens
herself up to the creature’s wrath, and soon finds herself, and her family
suffering from an ancient evil.
Thoughts;
No back-story in this movie whatsoever. It opens with a
surprise birthday party for Beth and her sister Kate is there. It’s all awkward
and Beth talks about sleeping in her childhood bedroom again. Why? It’s never
really explained.
It is explained that she is having issues sleeping and
suffering from sleep-paralysis and is having issues dealing with it. When she
talks to her sister Kate about it, Kate tells Beth to just “give into her
feelings” and then she ends up dead.
This movie had the idea right, it had the plot to be a good
movie, but the no-name actors and the fact that once they explained about the
legends, and you knew what was going to happen. All in all it was ok. Didn’t
keep my attention much as I figured it all out early on.
