Sleepwalking in Suburbia (2017 TV Movie)
4/10
Limited by a Rather Poor Ending
14 August 2023
This film begins with a young man named "Dan Miller" (Giles Panton) and his wife "Michelle Miller" (Emilie Ullerup) sleeping soundly in their bed late one night. Suddenly, without any warning, Michelle gets up and sleepwalks across the street to the house where a young man by the name of "Luke Williams" (Carlo Marks) lives. Although Luke is surprised when she quietly enters his house, he becomes even more startled when she suddenly unbuckles his pants and initiates sex with him. Then, just as quickly as it began, she walks out of his house and back toward the house where her husband has begun to search the neighborhood for her. It is then revealed that Michelle has walked in her sleep before and each time she doesn't remember anything that transpired during these episodes. That being said, she doesn't remember having sex with Luke either. Luke, on the other hand, remembers everything and has incorrectly come to the conclusion that Michelle is attracted to him. To that effect, since Luke and his wife "Nancy Williams" (Lucie Guest) have been experiencing marital difficulties, he subsequently decides to leave Nancy in order to pursue Michelle instead. Needless to say, Michelle is quite unnerved by his romantic overtures--especially since Dan and Luke work together and are such good friends. Likewise, she has no idea what caused Luke to begin acting this way in the first place. Even worse, she soon discovers that the more she tries to discourage his advances, the more aggressive he becomes--and this soon creates problems for all concerned. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that, although this movie started out quite well, I didn't particularly care for the ending as it simply wasn't very believable. That being said, although I liked the acting of Emilie Ullerup, her performance alone wasn't enough for me to rate this movie any higher than I have. Slightly below average.
