Five graduate students are conducting a study to prove the theory that once you’ve passed 200 hours without sleep, you will never need sleep again. As the hours tick by and their struggle to stay awake intensifies, they each start to have strange and unsettling experiences. Visions from the past, violent impulses and terrifying waking nightmares begin to take hold and turn this experiment into a desperate fight for survival.

SO-SO HORROR
Dr. Whately (Yasmine Aker) is conducting sleep deprivation experiments, working on the hypothesis that after 200 hours of no sleep the body no longer requires it. She claims that this will be a boon to mankind, presumably to employers who will have a workforce that can literally work 24/7. But one of her test subjects goes seriously bonkers and the study is shut down. She and some of her student guinea pigs decide to continue unauthorized over a holiday break. Things continue to go awry as the students who include Whatelyâs lover, Joe (Keli Price), begin to experience hallucinations and worse. Only the hallucinations are anything but. Theyâre normally invisible creatures that feed on our dreams, but if weâre not dreaming they come after us. And just to drop the cherry on the parfait it turns out Dr. Whately has fudged the results of her previous animal studies of the drug sheâs concocted to keep her subjects awake. Actually sheâs invented those studies out of whole cloth.The case art proclaims âFrom the creator of âFinal Destination,ââ but that apparently is one of the producers as neither writer Jason Murphy nor director Phillip Guzman were involved in any installment of those films. Iâve, surprisingly, seen none of them but I know theyâre well regarded (John Waters expressed the desire to be a victim in an entry, but then he does have a love of cheesy flicks). The creative team is everything and it comes up short here. For all its intriguing ideas (especially the dream feeders) things never quite build to a satisfactory conclusion. And while the feeders are pretty creepy apparitions the film just isnât very scary. It is, however, very talky. The acting, from a lot of people youâve never heard of, is quite good â though theyâre all more than a tad old looking even for graduate students. This is almost a good horror film but it never quite gels.

Some problems..but and ok movie.
The movie was ok. Lot of really good ideas…but the execution falls a little short.

Really, not so great a film. Best thing about it was the cover!
Ok movie, as a collector added this to my collection but would rate this at 5.2. plot was thin and ending very predictable. Sorry to say it but the best part of this movie was the cover. B. Beckner

Inspired concept, dissapointing execution.
I’m a fan of the screenwriter and his work across several mediums. I don’t know what happened here, but I’m hopeful that one day he’ll give this story another shot, maybe as a novel. I’m confident that if he had been nurturing this creative endeavor with a healthy regiment of cocaine, this would have been a masterpiece. As it is now, it’s a lightweight, scattershot series of expository plot points intersected with “horror film moments”. I wouldn’t recommend it. I don’t think Jason would recommend it, either. He’s too humble to direct to you his other work, which is where I come in. Check out his other stuff and have a great time. Leave this movie to the friends and family members of the director and cast.

Not a good movie
The movie is not as good as I thought. I didn’t like it. Maybe there’s some people that will like this movie.

SLEEPLESS TERROR
There are a ton of horror movies released these days. At one time that was not the case, horror films only came in cycles and fans were forced to wait for those to come around again. But with the invention of streaming whole channels now are focused on the genre and films are being made with those channels in mind, movies that donât always play in theaters but go straight to disc and those channels. SLEEP NO MORE feels like it falls into that category, a horror film thatâs not bad but that you get the impression wouldnât have lasted long in a theater.The story takes place in 1986 at a college where a group of grad students are experimenting with a new drug while trying to make a discovery about sleep and the lack of. Their theory is that once a person reaches 200 hours without sleep they no longer require it. The implications for this in use for soldiers and more would be astronomical.The five students include leader Joe (Keli Price) who is sleeping with Professor Whatley (Yasmine Aker) in the side, Frannie (Brea Grant) the studious type member, Dale (Stephen Ellis) the class clown and Holly (Christine Dwyer) the girl with her own special secrets and Carter (Lukas Gage). As the film opens we witness Carter go off the deep end and commit suicide cutting his own throat after gauging out his eyes. This leads to an investigation where the study is shut down. Determined to carry on the rest decide to take matters into their own hands along with a professor willing to assist.With break taking place they remain behind and set about carrying on the experiment, continuing to inject the experimental drug Cognifan into themselves while watching and recording the effects of the drug with no sleep. One by one they begin suffering from hallucinations, in some cases dangerously close to bringing them to action. The Dale is there control subject, not given the Cognifan. But he takes the drug after dozing off and waking then accidentally injecting it.The question rises are the visions they are seeing simply images created due to sleep deprivation? Or was there something else that Carter saw, something so terrifying that it made him do what he did?Comparison to films like FLATLINERS and A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET will follow this film forever since those movies used similar concepts. But this one has its own take on the genre. It made for an interesting concept but as for the follow through on that my feelings are mixed.The images seen by the group are CGI based and some will hate that aspect of it. I found that it didnât do any damage from my perspective. The ghostly images would be hard pressed with practical effects and the CGI here is far above anything seen in the weekly SyFy schlock films that channel puts out. Theyâre genuinely creepy if not terrifying and add to the atmosphere.The acting here is better than most films of the budget and all come off as believable. The setting rings true to with the cast confined to the dorm area the story takes place in. Thereâs no need to run around campus due to the story involved. The cinematography is a bit lacking at moments but overall works fine. One thing the movie does to capture the time period is its use of popular music from the 80s. This works well in setting that period along with the Walkman being worn to listen to it.On the whole the movie isnât a bad little flick with some enjoyable moments. Iâve read some reviews that have ravaged the film but didnât think it deserved the scorn that was being laid on it. Iâve seen much worse in low budget horror films and this one delivered on most of the marks it set out to hit. So if youâre looking for something a little different this Halloween season give this one a watch. And then make sure you get a good nightâs rest.

Interesting Premise, Flawed Execution
Two stars for the concept , but there the execution is confused and the narrative ultimately unsatisfying
