Molly Henery The Blogging Banshee Somnium weaves suspense and terror into a tale of self-discovery that's as relatable as it is unsettling. Rated: 8/10 Mar 31, 2025 Full Review Jenn Adams Strong Female Antagonist Set at a nefarious sleep clinic, this story has elements of pure terror and plays with the idea of consensual reality. But a sentimental plotline pushes fascinating elements of the story to the side leaving us with a fairly standard quest for stardom. Rated: B Jul 20, 2024 Full Review Mel Valentin ScreenAnarchy First-time writer-director Racheal Cain drops Gemma, a stereotypical small-town girl in the big city (and everything that implies), at the intersection of ambition, exploitation, and desperation. Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Bobby LePire Film Threat A compelling thriller with a likable lead. Rated: 9/10 Jun 24, 2024 Full Review Norman Gidney HorrorBuzz A sleek noir takedown of the carnivorous Hollywood dream. Rated: 6/10 Jun 24, 2024 Full Review Stephanie Malone Morbidly Beautiful "Somnium" is an engaging, thought-provoking film that blends the beauty of dreams with the haunting terror of nightmares. Writer-director Racheal Cain says she set out to make a beautiful horror film about facing fears, and she succeeds in spades. Rated: 4/5 Jun 23, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
