Sleep

Does your husband have a bad case of sleepwalking or is he actually possessed? This is the question plaguing Soo-jin (Jung Yu-mi), who’s expecting to give birth any day now…if only her husband (the late Lee Sun-kyun, “Parasite”) would stop muttering ominous things in his sleep and eating everything in sight.Hanging from the center wall in the newlyweds’ modest apartment is a handmade sign that reads, “Together we can overcome anything” …a phrase Soo-jin and Hyun-su must cling to as the terrifying ordeals in their apartment escalate in the coming weeks. Due to deliver their baby any day now, pregnant Soo-jin begins to notice that Hyun-su (“Parasite’s” Lee Sun-kyun) is displaying increasingly disturbing behavior in his sleep. What starts as simple sleep talking transforms into something darker than either of them could have imagined. Desperate to keep her marriage intact and her baby safe from the malevolent forces consuming her husband, Soo-jin’s lack of sleep becomes a danger in itself, in this captivating debut horror film from Jason Yu. —G.S.
