Before I Wake


In this supernatural thriller, Jessie (Kate Bosworth) and Mark (Thomas Jane) decide to take in a sweet and loving 8-year-old boy, Cody. Unbeknownst to them, Cody is terrified of falling asleep. At first, they assume his previous unstable homes caused his aversion to sleep, but soon discover why: Cody's dreams manifest in reality as he sleeps. In one moment they experience the incredible wonder of Cody's imagination, and in the next, the horrific nature of his night terrors. To save their new family, Jessie and Mark embark on a dangerous hunt to uncover the truth behind Cody's nightmares.

This movie was a decent watch.  It had its fair share of creepy images and moments that make you jump.  The problem is that it was missing an emotional hook.  Without that in scary movies you tend to forget about them five minutes after seeing them.  That is the boat that this movie falls into.  Watchable.  Enjoyable at times.  But overall forgettable.

I would not really recommend people spending money to watch this.  It's a decent watch but not good enough for that.  Wait to see it at home for free or something.
