Someone's killing your friends. You're shocked to discover that IT MIGHT BE YOU - doing it in your sleep. You have to be your own detective and solve the mystery before the police do, or else...A great high concept idea powerfully acted by upcoming stars of television and film.All the while there is a deep dark secret that needs to be uncovered to get to the answer.I saw this in a theater in West Hollywood with a very crowded house who seemed to be enthralled. And from what I understand the show killed in both L.A. and NYC in the premieres. Also from what I've heard it has done very well at festivals as well. The music score was particularly engaging and drew you deeper and deeper into the mystery - a de rigueur element for a thriller. Great stuff. Go see it.

This is an Average Thriller with nice suspense not too important but watchable , nice plot filmed in studio most of the parts and no photography at all ,low budget film but as i m saying again it is watchable 2-3 actors and thats all.Its not the film you ll watch it again, but really nice try.Also the end disappoints. You will not loose your time if you gonna watch it. Not many other things to talk about , one scene really scared me it was so unexpected also i think that they didn't handled well the thing with the sleepwalking it was missing something or it was so exaggerated. Also i didn't liked the plot in many points like the girl from the hospital or the mother.

I rarely rave about movies, but without exaggeration it's truly one of the best movies I've seen in a very long time.The movie is a well-written edge-of-your-seat thriller, interlaced with incredible suspense, Hitchcockian elements, a fantastic plot, great intensity, wonderful musical score, and even humor along the way.If you like movies like Memento and the Usual Suspects, and appreciate movies with twists and turns that keep you guessing the entire time, you'll love this movie. After I saw this movie, I couldn't stop talking or thinking about it. It's one of those movies that stays in your mind and makes you think through it and ask questions about it for several days. (And one that you'll want to see again once you figure everything out).

I got to see this film in LA and loved it. It's a true thriller in the Hitchcockian tradition- a very twisty, subtly persuasive and psychologically driven tour-de-force! The plot keeps you on the edge of your seat, with a crescendo of excitement that peaks with a very unforeseen final outcome. It's such a creative premise- one I've never heard of before- which adds to the sense of disturbing discovery the audience shares with the main character. I so appreciated some of the stellar performances. Most of the actors were new to me but some familiar...the director was able to extract excellent and memorable performances.I'm the kind of person that really wants to talk about a movie after it's over...I hate just walking away like nothing happened (or walking away because nothing did happen in the movie I just saw!) But In My Sleep is such a good movie to bring friends to. There's so much to talk about, explore, question, figure out, explain...it almost requires a second viewing like Memento did.It's also a rare mix of humor and drama. The audience laughed and yelped in surprise throughout the film. It has Tony Hale (Buster Bluth from Arrested Development), whom I find Hi-lar-i-ous! I'm glad I saw it, and will be bringing friends this weekend to see it again when it opens in NY at the Quad. I'm excited to see what the future holds for the director Allen Wolf, and for his cast!
