Evaluations:
“That is all very thrilling and snappily paced, which is what makes the final act so irritating. After spending two thirds of its runtime balancing scares, character beats and exposition, Sleep’s third part opens with a time bounce that elides not less than one main plot level, which is just glimpsed in a nonetheless picture. It’s an enormous disappointment that the movie solely discusses this growth slightly than present it.” ★★★½ Bloody Disgusting
“With all of the uncertainty that’s consistently current, all of it works fairly nicely till the story takes an occult path. The horrible acts that Hyeon-soo is answerable for out of the blue now not hit a sore spot, quite the opposite. The expectation of not being confronted with any clichés crumbles any longer. As soon as once more, the impression arises that the unconscious is just too boring and/or unimportant for many filmmakers.” 4 out of 10, Movie Rezensionen [translated from German]
“On one hand, it’s a good however seemingly typical style movie that has moments of uncanny intelligence. On the opposite, it’s an uncannily clever work that finally settles for merely being a great style movie. Both approach, Yu has proven that he has a lot to supply, whatever the disappointing conclusion. If he can harness his incisive nature extra successfully, Yu will likely be a formidable director not simply in horror however in any cinematic enviornment.” 7 out of 10, Movie Menace
“When the script is flipped, and Soo-jin descends into insanity from lack of sleep, Hyun-su is totally unsupportive, missing sympathy from the get-go […] This can be a nice show of sexism in our society, and a double commonplace utilized to bodily versus psychological sickness. The deeper cultural evaluation beneath well-executed surface-level terror is what makes Sleep particularly sharp.” ★★★★ Josh on the Films

” …the drop in stress within the second half might be much less tempting to take a nap. So preserve your eyes open when the plot, refined with a pinch of psychology, overturns the suspense so skillfully constructed within the atmospheric opening chapters with gimmicky excesses. Nonetheless, the tried and examined actors and weird primary concept ship stable style fare.” 5.5 out of 10, Film Break [translated from German]
“With Sleep, Jason Yu presents a stable horror movie that comes with a wink and due to this fact makes you smile greater than it scares you.

However you’ll most likely nonetheless have the ability to sleep nicely afterwards.” 4 out of 6, Out Now [translated from German]
“By the point the movie reaches its fevered finale, we really feel simply as trapped and unsure as Soo-jin, battling what we even need to occur subsequent. The finale has one of the crucial spectacular reveals within the style in a very long time, however Sleep isn’t simply an train in unpredictable writing; it’s a tightly paced and calibrated piece of style filmmaking.” RogerEbert.com
