Really this is by-the-numbers stuff. Go to Full Review
Anton Bitel Sight & Sound 11/09/2018
The locations in Savannah, Georgia are atmospheric, but there is much clumsy exposition and some very lazy 'boo!'-type scares. Go to Full Review
Dennis Harvey Variety 09/07/2018
A generically conceived horror thriller distinguished only by its belief that more hysteria equals a more frightening movie. Go to Full Review

There's a great film to be made about this subject, but Mara isn't it. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
A crime thriller and supernatural horror about the unnerving experiences of people with sleep paralysis. Plenty in its favor, but nowhere near enough. Go to Full Review

C B May 14 Probably one of Olga's better produced and more slick films. It has the requisite jumpscares and horrific images and sound effects, but the story doesn't hold up to much scrutiny, with the police detective and the forensic psychologist (Olga) seeming to ride roughshod over every rule in the book. The actor who portrays "Dougie" steals the movie with his performance. The ending was better than I had expected it to be but not as good as it could have been.

The only emotion I felt watching this film was anger from all the horrible decisions that were made, and the resolution was so anticlimactic it was almost annoying. I really don't recommend watching this See more Crimson W 08/22/2024 Un Tema Interesante con escenas con muy buen suspenso, aunque alatamente predecible llega a volverse monótona.
