![]() I wish they’d release more, and I really wish you could filter by voice and by exercise (I prefer breathing, then noting, I don’t really like visualisation at all). I love how Sleepcasts have subtle changes each time. ![]() I used to use Calm but there was only 1 sleep story I liked (Blue Gold by Stephen Fry) and after a while it stopped working on me as I knew it so well. Sleepcasts have totally changed my sleep. I find I prefer American voices (I’m English) and male voices (I’m a woman) but there are a few exceptions like Kim (woman) and Simon (older-sounding English man). A Freestyle release.Midnight Launderette is my #1 too! I also like the Cat Marinas and Midnight Salon (Kim). MPAA Rating: unrated, horror violence, some nudity, sex scenesĬast: Dominic Sherwood, Charlbi Dean Kriek, Drea de Matteo, Alex Rocco, Jill Hennesy and Cary ElwesĬredits: Written and directed by Rick Bieber. “Don’t Sleep” is heartless, fright-free and, yes - sleep-inducing. Whatever Bieber’s gifts to the cinema as a producer - and his name was all over that abortion “Radio Flyer” - here, he’s working by formula, attempting straight exploitation.Īnd he doesn’t have the knack. Otherwise, there’s nothing here to pull us in, no one to root for/fear for. He’s animated in every scene, giving us something to cling to every time he’s on screen. You want to see good screen acting? Watch Rocco, in his last screen performance (this was shot more than two years ago), bring pathos to an old man who loses his beloved dog, menace when that old man turns demonic. She disrobes three times, but gets one moving speech and relationship-saving scene. The South African beauty Kriek made her own deal with the Devil, or in this case, Bieber. The movie’s pretty uncertain about that, though truthfully, the slack pacing and generally uninspired acting kind of dulled my sense of “What’s REALLY going on here?” “It’s a CURSE! A curse has come into our home!” Shawn isn’t buying it - “You seem a little delicate these days.”īut Jo, the neighbor (de Matteo of “The Sopranos”) is the first to catch on. Zach starts to wonder what mom (J ill Hennesy) and that long-ago therapist never told him. Nor do their neighbors/landlords ( Drea de Matteo, Alex Carter), or elderly Poppy (the late Alex Rocco) who lives with them.īut cowled figures turn up - in darkened closets, in rear-view mirrors. Neighbors are sexually assaulted and go mad.īut law student Zach ( Dominic Sherwood of TV’s “Shadowhunters”) and his art teacher girlfriend Shawn ( Charlbi Dean Kriek of “Death Race: Inferno”) don’t know that as they move in together. Rick Bieber’s achingly slow story is about the horrors of young Zach’s past assaulting him and all those around him in the present day.ĭemons stalk, haunt and attack. ![]() “Don’t Speak” is a drab indie horror tale earning release thanks to a director whose next credit (as a producer) is the “Flatliners” remake. The kid is speaking with a demonic growl. Repeated bad dreams? I have the answer!ĬUT TO: Back home, where the boy, and then his mother, realize just how off the mark Dr. Zach, an expressionless child actor whom we’ll spare calling out on his limited future in films, has to listen to a smug psychotherapist ( Cary Elwes) diagnose what ails him. The little boy imagines himself in what looks like a graveyard, macabre figures greet him, direct him and then threaten him.ĬUT TO: Interior, a shrink’s office. The title “Thirteen years ago” appears on the screen. INTERIOR: A dark hallway, the camera tracks into a bedroom where a little boy is having a nightmare.
