Review of In My Sleep

In My Sleep (2010)
10/10
An edge of the seat suspense thriller..
21 April 2010
I saw this movie in Omaha -- it is fantastic!

This is an entirely modern movie with a suspenseful plot -- murder, infidelity, nightmares -- that draws elements from Hitchcock, maintaining a visually interesting and austere production look and feel. Most of the 'bad' stuff happens off screen but the editing keeps you sitting on the edge of your seat and experiencing the action the whole way through. The director Allen Wolf has developed a visual style that integrates elements of Hitchcock with modern, current camera angles and technique.

Wolf uses innovative camera angles, dislocation in sequential time, and characters none of whom are exactly what they seem to be. Everyone has something to hide -- everyone seems to have a secret -- and everyone is watching everyone else. The audience gets to watch it all -- and feels swept into the suspense.

This one has earned the awards the film festivals have already given it!
