Bedtime

About This Movie

So, 'Bedtime' really leans into that creeping dread, you know? The atmosphere is thick with tension, especially as young Thiago spirals into paranoia after that bedtime story. It’s interesting how the film captures the essence of Brazilian folklore, weaving the Pisadeira into its narrative without feeling forced. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to settle into Thiago's growing fear, which feels genuinely palpable. I appreciated the practical effects—they add a rawness that a lot of modern horror lacks. Performances are solid, especially from the young lead, who really embodies that mix of innocence and terror. It’s not just about jump scares but a deeper exploration of childhood fears, which makes it stand out in the genre.
