When an experimental drug trial goes horribly wrong, seven young test subjects, after being kept awake for days, must face the terrifying side effect of the drug: if you fall asleep you die. Trapped in an isolated medical facility, they desperately try to find a way to reverse the side effects of the trial, as one by one they succumb to sleep and death. Panic quickly takes hold and they to turn on each other. It's left up to Claire, the group's unlikely leader, to keep them together, find a way to escape, and somehow manage to stay awake.

It's always gratifying to find a horror movie that has the best of influences, and even more gratifying that it's an Irish crew of filmmakers that are making it all.

Rated: 3/5

Common Sense Media

This is a well-crafted, tight 90 minutes that will keep viewers hooked and shows great potential from the up-and-coming filmmakers.

Washington City Paper

Ian Hunt-Duffy uses the limited setting to his advantage, escalating tension through the frayed sanity that can only come when someone stays awake much longer than they should.

Sunday Independent (Ireland)

This moody, claustrophobic chiller stretches its one good idea beyond breaking point -- but there is enough here to unnerve and, indeed, frighten even the most cynical participant.

Rated: 3/5

Boring and slow paced, unoriginal and predictable at times.

FÜR GELD MACHT MAN JEDEN MIST Claire nimmt wegen Geldnöten an einer Medikamentenstudie teil. Mit anderen Probanden testet sie eine Pille, doch schnell wird klar das die Nebenwirkungen zu stark sind. Es stirbt sogar jemand während der Studie und alle werden in einen Lockdown versetzt. Doch sie dürfen nicht einschlafen bis die Türen sich wieder öffnen, denn sonst droht der Tod. Schlaf!Nicht!Ein geht ca. 85 Minuten und ist ab 16 Jahren freigegeben. Wir haben hier einen Horror-Thriller in dem es darum geht nicht einzuschlafen, ich weiss Roll-Credits, aber das ist nun mal die ganze Idee dahinter und die ist nicht mal schlecht. Allein jedes Jahr zu Silvester weiss jeder wie schwierig es ist nur bis Mitternacht wach zu bleiben, hier wird das ganze auf die Spitze getrieben. Verwirrung, Halluzinationen und körperliche Erschöpfung machen sich breit, was man wirklich gut nachvollziehen kann. Die Charaktere haben alle ihre Rolle die sie für so eine Gruppe erfüllen müssen, was würde wohl passieren wenn du nur Emos da sitzen hättest? Wahrscheinlich nach 20 Minuten bereits das Finale. Leider schafft es der Streifen nicht die Stimmung vollends rüber zubringen und so plätschert die Story eher dahin. Die Effekte sind überwiegend Blut das aus dem Gesicht fließt, allerdings gibt es ein paar coole Momente die ich dem Streifen nicht absprechen will. Das Finale bietet dann einige überraschende Wendungen die man mit einem Nicken hinnehmen muss, auch wenn sie keinen großen Sinn ergeben. Am Ende bleibt ein Werk das man einmal schauen kann, es tut keinem weh da man den Schmerz der hier durch gemacht wird nachvollziehen kann. Leider passiert zu wenig um einen wirklich zu fesseln. Von mir bekommt der Film 6/10 Punkten. Wach bleiben, keine Aufputschmittel nehmen und dann nur Leute die einem aufm Keks gehen, purer Horror.

Not bad. But not convincing. Not sure whats not there but parts of the story are like mix of pieces from other thrillers. It does make me wanna know how it ends though

A fun movie, decent plot. The plot holes aren’t irritating. I didn’t get spooked like I wanted to but I didn’t waste my time watching it.
