I just watched Mister Sleep and have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. I read the reviews prior to watching and they were on both ends of the spectrum. I have seen a lot worse in horror movies, and this is not one of them. The storyline was consistent, there were no loose ends, and the acting was believable. It wasn't the worst movie I've seen of the genre nor the best, but it was surprisingly not bad.
I would give this movie a solid 6 1/2 out of 10. I like the character of Mister Sleep. It was something new and different instead of people trying to revamp stuff that's already been done. There was also a continuity in the story which I liked. I felt it was pretty entertaining.

Oh my. This snoozer not only puts you to sleep, it also serves you cookies and a glass of warm milk. It was rated 5.1 at the time I saw it, which had given me hope that this would at least be acceptable, but alas, Amazon Prime provided another steaming pile of 💩.
The acting is exceptionally poor, although having such a terrible script didn't help. I give it 1 star for simply existing, and one more for reasonable photography. But this was so impossibly BORING that I literally nodded off a few times, forcing myself to rewind back to where I'd left off. Seriously, this stinker has very little going for it, with the exception of some gore if you're into it.

TBH I wasn't expecting much from this movie. I just wanted a fun popcorn horror with the boys and this I liked the look of the poster. Yeah, it's a low budget horror, but I was pleasantly suprised. It seemed like a lot of thought had gone into it, the story was surprisingly good, with some great characters who were really interesting - not just the usual crazed killer fodder. It kept us on edge and there were some really good jump scares and shocks in there. Mister Sleep was pretty freaking creepy and there were also a lot of fun in jokes and references to movies like Halloween and Nightmare on Elm street, but it was really original and felt pretty on point, especially with the whole true crime podcast thing. It kept us gripped all the way through and that was down to the quality of the writing and directing (and acting.) Well worth a watch! I'll be watching it again.

Austin Rhodes executed his character perfectly, as well as the other supporting actors that don't get enough credit. This movie was very good for a low budget yet very skilled production company and a great group of actors and child actors. Watch Mister Sleep I loved it so much. The plot was actually unique and very well executed. I talked with my friend who has written iconic reviews for "The Room", "Jaws 2", and "Red Tides Don't Shine", and he thought this was very well made, giving it a 8/10, though he didn't write an iconic review for it, I'll sum up his opinion, "Executed great for budget" CHECK OUT THIS MOVIE!

I saw a review about this movie from movieginger on tiktok, I teust him, and he really liked it, so I thought I'd give it a go. And yeah, it's definitely low budget, but it's well written, with some good actors ( I really liked the evil doctor and the Boyfriend, Glenn - and the killer is creepy AF - he has a fantastic look. A couple of really great kills - especially the old guy in the warehouse. So.e good jump scares too. The later kills are a bit tamer, but the last 20 mins makes up for it though. I really liked the story. I want to see a sequel with a bigger budget! It's fun and whoever made it clearly liked Halloween! Worth a watch.
