I'm a fan of Olga Kurylenko. I first saw her in Hitman (and she's a big part of why I like that movie) then a few more times before watching her steal the show in Centurion. So when I heard that there was going to be a Kurylenko-led horror movie in 2018 I was on board. Then it turned out Craig Conway was in it too! That cemented it for me, there was no way I was gonna miss Mara.
And even though they're both good in this, I probably should have been paying less attention to the fact that I like two of the actors in this movie, and more attention to something like, say, the plot synopsis, because Mara is just one in a recent slew of practically identical (and never very good) horror movies about sleep paralysis. Maybe it's a touch more competently made than most of the others, but it's still as banal as any of them.
Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product.
