    Before I Wakeis an atmospheric fantasy thriller about a young boy whose dreams come to life. This is not so much an issue for him as it is for the grown-ups he lives with that are awake when he is asleep: many of the dreams are remarkable, diverting spectacles for the adults; but occasionally, the boy has nightmares. He’s now on to his third set of...

    Right, we’ll get the genre thing out of the way and then I’ll tell you a bit more about the film… You may have seenBefore I Wake recommended on Netflix if you have watched other horror films on there; though that may be simply because Mike Flanagan’s previous films were all considered to be horror (to one degree or another).

They all play their parts extremely well! The couple spend most of their time managin...

That’s the best word for it, and I’m smiling right now thinking of butterflies. There is a great deal to do with bereavement though; and I struggled to get through the first half hour because the depiction of the couple’s loss of th...
