Watch Sleep No More

Sleep No More is a 2017 science-fiction horror movie, written by Jason Murphy and directed by Phillip Guzman. The movie premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival on June 21, 2017, and was released in theaters and video on demand on November 10, 2017. The movie stars Keli Price as Carter, Brea Grant as Golightly, and Stephen Ellis as Barrett.

Sleep No More takes place in a world where sleep is no longer necessary. Carter (Keli Price) is a graduate student studying sleep deprivation, along with his colleagues Golightly (Brea Grant) and Barrett (Stephen Ellis). The trio aims to create a drug that can replace sleep and help people maximize their productivity. The team's goal is to produce a pill called Z.A.R.D.O.Z. which stands for Zero Adenosine Recombinant DNA One Zillion. The pill supposedly provides the benefits of sleep without any of the negative side effects.

Carter, Golightly, and Barrett are initially optimistic about their project, but things start to go wrong when they conduct a human trial on themselves. They begin to experience hallucinations and various side effects that they didn't anticipate. Despite this, the team continues to experiment, and as the group's sleep deprivation worsens, they become increasingly erratic and paranoid.

As the movie progresses, it becomes clear that the group's hallucinations aren't entirely random. They all seem to be experiencing something different, but there's a common thread that connects them all. The movie keeps the audience guessing whether these are side effects of the drug or something more sinister at play.

Sleep No More is a movie that plays with multiple genres. It's part science-fiction, part horror, and part thriller. The movie is driven by its original premise - the idea that sleep is no longer necessary. The film then builds on that by exploring the consequences of a world without sleep. The cinematography is excellent, with colors that effectively portray the group's deteriorating mental state. The editing and music selections of the film are designed to heighten the suspense and add to the eerie atmosphere of the laboratory.

Keli Price's portrayal of Carter is convincing, as are his co-stars Brea Grant and Stephen Ellis. The trio successfully convey the team's dedication to their work and their mounting desperation as their research leads them to darker and more dangerous places.

At its core, Sleep No More is an examination of the human mind and its limitations. The movie hints at the possibility that sleep is essential for the brain to reset and stay in balance. The drug they create ultimately messes with the balance of the human mind and causes traumatic effects on the psyche.

The movie raises deeper questions of what makes us human and how far we're willing to go to achieve our goals. In a world that is always demanding more from us, there is a lure to find shortcuts to boost our productivity. But what happens when that shortcut is presented to us in a dangerous form?

Sleep No More is a thought-provoking movie that will leave audiences thinking about it long after the credits roll. It's recommended for fans of science-fiction and horror who appreciate a good cerebral thriller. Even though it's an independent film, the level of quality put into the making of the movie is on par with that of any major studio. Overall, it's an engaging and suspenseful movie that shouldn't be overlooked.
