Critics Consensus

Well-acted and visually striking, Come True offers an eerily effective reminder of how the sleeping subconscious can be fertile ground for horror.

The first 2 great acts certainly make up for the mediocre 3rd act. Just enjoy the trip.

Interesting but slow and at times self-indulgent; tighter editing would have helped. Good twist at the very end which was hobbled by not being set up earlier.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Really enjoyed this as a dark movie about dreams and ones struggle for the truth. Awesome at slowly revealing as the movie went on. Don't judge until the end.

Probably, if not the only, one of the more true and interesting movies about the shadow people phenomenon and sleep paralysis phenomenon. Spoiler: This figure that haunts that haunts people's dreams is done really well 👍

The Ringer

This thrifty psychological thriller comes so close to realizing its mindfuck potential that if you squint just right while streaming it, it looks a bit like a cult classic.

Burns' script is just as concerned with the weirdness of Sarah's waking life as it is the literal monsters that populate her dreams, and the filmmaker's ability to balance and juxtapose those two portions of the film only strengthen each section.

Rated: C+

By the end, you're just like "Well okay, that was that."

Vulnerable Man (Medium)

Come True is at its best when it lets us partake and discover these dark, startling dreams alongside the characters in a surreal world of unease, freight, and terror.

The Sunbreak (Seattle, WA)

A waking nightmare that blurs the line between dreams and reality before regrettably getting lost in its own descent.
