Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/24 Full Review Emmet R "The Sleep Experiment," a 2022 horror sensation, distinguishes itself in the genre, thanks in large part to its compelling performances and engrossing narrative. The film delves into the harrowing depths of a psychological experiment gone wrong, providing a fresh perspective in horror cinema. Tom Kerrisk leads the cast with a riveting performance, portraying a character whose descent into the experiment's chaos is both convincing and deeply unsettling. Kerrisk's ability to convey a range of emotions, from scientific curiosity to gripping fear, anchors the film's tense atmosphere. Supporting Kerrisk, Brian Moore, Will Murphy, and Rob James deliver standout performances. Each actor brings a unique depth to their character, contributing to the film's exploration of human psyche under extreme stress. Moore's portrayal of a skeptic within the experiment adds a layer of conflict, while Murphy and James offer contrasting perspectives that enrich the narrative.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/24 Full Review B T If you're looking for an incredibly predictable, somehow boring "horror" movie with almost painfully stale acting, then you've come to the right place. Get ready for 5 minute long sob-story monologues back to back followed by senseless scenes of the characters grabbing each other, yanking each other around and screaming. You'll find yourself laughing at the needlessly overdramatic scenes that seem to drown out the actual intense scenes. Not worth the watch, unless you're trying to fall asleep quickly 😴 Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/24 Full Review James W I thought this was a parody due to the acting, but I slowly realised it was just talentless people trying to make an interesting concept work. I didn't believe any of the acting at any point. Dreadful film. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/02/24 Full Review Read all reviews
