Film ThreatBobby LePireJul 26, 2024
Sleep No More may not be flawless, but it is a solid and entertaining watch. The pacing is mostly excellent as things move so fast audiences barely have time to breathe. The cast is phenomenal and makes even underwritten parts feel whole. [2024 re-release] Read full review

The performances are believable enough. But the film’s violence is both expected and absurdly random. Read full review

Although the performances, including that of Rebecca Romijn channeling Cybill Shepherd as a femme fatale type, are sturdy, their characters have been given absolutely nowhere interesting to go. Read full review

The DissolveMatthew DessemJun 16, 2015
Phantom Halo is overstuffed even before Bogdanovich starts layering in the soliloquies and comic book metaphors. Read full review

A genre mishmash cobbled together from the refuse of disparate visual and narrative modes. Read full review
