Producer: Sam Englebardt, William D. Johnson & Trevor Macy
Director: Mike Flanagan
Star Cast: Kate Bossworth, Thomas Jane, Jacob Trembley, Annabeth Gish & Dash Mihok
Genre: Horror
Verdict: GOOD
Plot: Jessie (Kate Bosworth) & Mark (Thomas Jane) adopt a new foster child, Cody (Jacob Tremblay) after their son Sean dies. They soon find out that Cody’s dreams become reality, but his nightmares are deadly. Jessie & Mark must figure out what to do before one of his nightmares kills.
Aces: Director Mike Flanagan has succeeded in creating the right aura of horror as well as the mysterious suspense besides extracting good performances from all the actors especially Jacob Trembley.
Minuses: The entire background soundtrack for the horror sequences is too jarring.
Last Word: Before I Wake is a good watch after a dearth of right horror movies for a long time.
