Mike Flanagan's "Before I Wake" is one of the more unusual horror movies that I've seen. It looks at how our experiences affect our dreams (does that make it more psychological thriller than horror?). Some of the scenes are kind of silly, but it's actually an interesting movie. Jacob Tremblay's character reminded me of his role in "Room".
The thought of a person's dreams colliding with reality might sound like a ripoff of "A Nightmare on Elm Street", but this is an original story. I particularly liked Kate Bosworth's performance (Thomas Jane's was too underdeveloped). It's not a great movie - far from the scariest movie ever - but I enjoyed it. Also starring Annabeth Gish (Agt. Reyes on "The X Files").
