Mike Flanagan's Hush is the first film that comes to my mind when I think of horror and it'll ever be. It's not a perfect movie but the way Flanagan plays with his audience there, it's absolutely brilliant. And he did it again in 2017 with Gerald's Game. So, after years, I finally decided to check out Before I Wake, which came out about a year after Hush although it was supposed to release about at the same time.
The film follows a married couple, Jessie (Kate Bosworth) and Mark (Thomas Jane), who, while still grieving the loss of their child, Sean (Antonio Evan Romero), decides to adopt. When sweet 8-year-old orphan Cody (Jacob Tremblay) arrives into their lives, everything seems fine. But soon, Cody's dreams start physically manifesting into reality as he sleeps and his dreams eventually become nightmares.
