In My Sleep Reviews



“Savvy Entertainment.”

“A well-stirred titillation that will appeal to twentysomething audiences and movie-buff viewers who appreciate the pursued-pursuer, Hitchcockian style of suspenser. Savvy Entertainment…filmmaker Allen Wolf torques this high-concept premise to darkest dimension. ‘In My Sleep’ works because the protagonist, while flawed, is completely likable and honorable. Philip Winchester exudes an integrity, as well as a gritty determination, which makes us root for him. Narratively, ‘In My Sleep’ never rests, a credit to the tight, psychologically astute pacing of filmmaker Wolf”

“Genuinely Suspenseful Moments.”

– NEW YORK MAGAZINE

“Brilliantly Written Thriller.”

In My Sleep is a brilliantly written thriller that genuinely keeps one guessing throughout the movie. The pacing is superb and the performances topnotch. A spine tingling, redemptive movie. Allen Wolf has created a very well made thriller.”

– MOVIE GUIDE

“A Mind-Engaging Thriller You Won’t Soon Forget.”

“It works because everything about this movie (characters and plot) is learn as you go, giving you an ultimate sense of ‘this could actually happen.’ The jump cut editing and gray scale motifs make you feel as though you are swimming through and drowning in the murky waters of Marcus’ mind, experiencing his anxiety and trauma while learning the secrets of his past. It has you guessing along with Marcus, analyzing every clue, every lead and trying to solve the mystery before something else happens. It utilizes a good script and acting to frighten the audience in a mind-engaging thriller that you won’t soon forget. It will have your mind racing from the minute it starts until long after the ending credits roll.”

“Hitchcockian.”

“Lacey Chabert and Abigail Spencer are charming as two of the women caught up in Marcus’s nightmare.”

– NEW YORK TIMES

“Twists and Turns That’ll Keep You Guessing To The End.”

“A taut psychological thriller. Starring Philip Winchester as Marcus, the sleepwalker in question, the eye-candy factor is off the charts as the handsome actor spends most of his time onscreen with his clothes off but don’t let that fool you that the film is short on story. A cross between Hitchcock and Memento, the award-winning indie thriller has several twists and turns that’ll keep you guessing to the end.”

– LA DINE N CLUB

“Intriguing Cast, Intriguing Plot.”

– NEW YORK POST

“Manages to Blend Comedy and Thriller Quite Well.”

“As ‘In My Sleep’ progresses, the goings-on grow increasingly strange – with more twists and revelations than half a season of ‘Law and Order’ (albeit with much more attractive scenery than that TV show). ‘In My Sleep’ manages to blend comedy and thriller quite well….The on-screen tension is so palpable that it’s guaranteed to keep the theater in an edgy silence. Any glitches of ‘In My Sleep’ are made up for in a big way by the performance of the intensely charismatic Philip Winchester, as the intensely charismatic Marcus.”

“Attractive Cast and a Novel Idea.”

– VARIETY

“An Outstanding Performance.”

“I loved the movie…so well written and directed by Allen Wolf. There is plenty of suspense and you become so engrossed in trying to figure out who did what. I had it wrong a couple of times before the killer is revealed. Winchester carries the movie and makes everything his character is going through seem plausible. It’s an outstanding performance.”
