Sleepwalk

About This Movie

So, 'Sleepwalk' (1986) is this interesting blend of drama, fantasy, and mystery. It dives into the life of Nicole, a copy-shop worker who starts translating this ancient Chinese manuscript. The way the document starts to seep into her life is eerie, to say the least. The atmosphere is quite haunting, with a slow burn that really lets the tension build. There’s something about the practical effects that feels raw and uncanny, which adds to the intrigue. The performances are layered; you can really feel Nicole's descent into this unsettling world as she grapples with what the manuscript brings. It’s not your typical fantasy flick, that’s for sure. Definitely has its own vibe.
