Laura Hasn't Slept
Desperate to rid herself of a recurring nightmare, a young woman seeks the help of her therapist.
Why it matters
A tense dive into sleep paralysis and psychological dread that blurs the line between nightmare and reality.
- Anchored by a raw, committed performance from Shayla Beesley, whose terror feels lived-in, not just staged.
- Practical effects and tight framing conjure a claustrophobic atmosphere that mirrors the protagonist’s unraveling mind.
- A fresh take on sleep disorder horror that taps into primal fears of vulnerability and loss of control.
- For fans of intimate psychological horror who prefer creeping dread over jump-scare overload.
