Before I Wake (Movie Review)

Before I Wake


This is not a horror movie as many of friends thought it is. The genre of this film is ranked Fantasy/Drama. Many people mix it with horror and thriller which is not true.
I personally liked this film and which is really rare as I mostly like horror or romance. There is something in this film which attracted me towards this film. It is executed brilliantly and as a film student, I would say great work to Mike Flanagan who is the director of this film and the editor too.

OK! OK! Let's us talk about the film now.

Well firstly those of who don't know about the film and haven't watched the trailer then here it is; click this link

So back to the topic, this film is about a young boy who is nearly 9 yrs old named Cody who doesn't like to sleep because his dreams come true. You must be thinking, wait what? Is it like A Nightmare on Elm Street? Well, the answer to your question is no because in that film the kids who were living in that street had dreams about Freddy who were killing them but in this film Cody have every kind of dreams, there is good one and certainly the worse ones.


The movie starts with this couple who recently lose their child and decided to adopt another boy but this boy whom they adopted is different. His name is Cody and whatever he dream becomes reality. At first his dreams are harmless and beautiful for the couple but then it become worse as the boy Cody is afraid of someone in his dreams, who he thinks eats people. Cody don't like to sleep much as he is afraid that if he sleeps the canker man will come and will eat people around him as he is a good hearted boy, he does not want to hurt anyone. He fails again and this time there is a fighter who would not lose against the canker man.

I won't tell you each and everything in the movie because there won't be anything left for you to watch. But I personally liked the ending in which most movies makes the film or ruins the film.
