Review of Sleep

Sleep (I) (2023)
5/10
Unique movie but a tedious watch at times
4 February 2024
In South Koreans 2023 horror movie sleep a young woman is startled by her husband's unsettling behavior during his sleep. He starts rocking around eating raw meat from the fridge and even tries to jump out of the window but as soon as she wakes them up he doesn't remember a thing. At some point the woman gets pregnant and she starts to get really worried that her husband is going to harm her little daughter. The movie puts the viewer in front of a difficult decision because on one hand you follow the wife who is understandably worried and you can and courage her decisions to a certain point but on the other hand you feel bad for the husband who is not aware of his cruel behavior when he is sleepwalking. The performance is by both lead actors are solid even though it is hard to rate them based on the foreign language, but their physical acting was good and the characters were believable. This story was interesting and unique but still didn't manage to entertain me for the 94 minutes run time. I like South Korean cinema and I was looking forward to this movie but in all honesty I was pretty bored at times. Overall I would say this is an interesting topic and this movie would definitely have its fans but for me it was just a decent watch. [5,4/10]
