The Sleepover

About This Movie

The Sleepover (2023) dives into that unsettling space where friendship takes a dark turn.

It leans heavily into practical effects, which gives the horror a raw, tangible feel—nothing overly polished here, just gritty realism. The performances are nuanced, especially how the lead navigates trust and betrayal.
