(2014) The Sleepwalker PSYCHOLOGICAL DRAMA

Co-written and directed by Mona Fastvold that has girlfriend, Kaia ( Gitte Witt) arriving to a house to help out her boyfriend, Andrew (Christopher Abbott). And as we see her get undress to change into her work clothes, viewers should be able to notice some of the scarring of burn marks on the side of her rib cage as she goes to help out her boyfriend. And then it was at this point some time during the night, Kaiea is woken up by a simple phone call. And it turns out to be her sister, Christine (Stephanie Ellis) or Chris for short asking her to come and pick her up at the train station. And that the house both Kaiea and her boyfriend, Andrew happens to be working on also happens to be the house where her and Christine used to grow up in. And that besides notifying her she is pregnant from her husband, from a guy name Ira (Brady Corbet) when Christine was young that she burned a portion of the house which also includes the garage. We also find out that "the Sleepwalker" as the movie says is in reference to Christine who she does not know what she is doing when she sleepwalks. And it was at this point, Kaiea invites Ira to stay with for a few days, with her boyfriend disapproving of the suggestion. Leading the family to re-open some open wounds about what used to happen and why!

The end of the movie kind of ends on an ambiguous note when a certain somebody goes missing that is reminiscent to the 1960 movie "L Avventura" leaving viewers with questions than answers in an unsatisfactory kind of way!
