In The Nightmare, director Rodney Ascher (Room 237) has done just that. The film explores the condition commonly referred to as “sleep paralysis.” That’s a condition where someone is in bed, but totally physically immobilized. Some who suffer from the condition – including the eight subjects in this documentary – feel they are visited by something evil during these periods. Ascher lets these subjects tell their stories, then we watch them play out on screen. It’s absolutely horrifying, if not wholly rewarding.
墊腳擁抱淳卿
6.5/10。喜歡小男孩想象中鼓起勇氣去面對父親的那場戲，用戲中戲模式袒露心扉。和解感覺太輕易了，長大后的男孩放過了父親也放過了自己。嫉妒孩子才華的父親角色蠻罕見的。配樂很好。孩子的床戲永遠驚心動魄。
