Sleep feels like a major debut by a filmmaker who is ready to defy conventions and entertain audiences. It belongs alongside those great Korean horror films, even while standing apart. Read full review

In his impressive debut feature, writer/director Jason Yu strikes a fine balance between character-driven and high-concept horror. Read full review

A directorial debut of poised peril that should inspire both laughs and a few sleepless nights. Read full review

Jason Yu knows how to stage a tense thriller and gives Sleep a sense of claustrophobia, using the small size of the apartment and some inventive camera movements to slightly change the apartment throughout the film, showing how the characters are losing their grip by making them unfamiliar with the place they know best in the world.

If nothing else, this fine debut feature from Korean director Jason Yu – hitherto assistant director to Bong Joon-ho – counts as a small masterpiece of tone. Read full review

It is only with the explicit possibility of a supernatural explanation, combined with full-on psychiatric breakdown, that the movie loses its light touch and its plausible detail. Yet there’s always a hyper-vigilant twinge of fear. Read full review

Yes, admirably “bonkers” by the end, but one wishes the rest of the film could cut a little deeper. Read full review
