With hopes of making it big in LA, small-town Gemma takes the overnight shift at Somnium, a mysterious sleep clinic where dreams are made real, but soon finds herself trapped in its web of dark secrets.

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

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

Projected Figures

In Racheal Cain’s psychological horror, both an experimental mind-control system and the Hollywood machine serve as parallel traps for young dreamers
