The Nightmare
Trailer
It is these events that embody the story of sleep paralysis, in which these people find themselves trapped between the worlds of sleep and waking up at the same time. These people are completely unable to move around but are aware of their surroundings while always being exposed to scenes. There is a strange element in these visions that appear to these people, and it is a ghost that looks like one in this context.

June 10, 2015 In the faces of these men and women, ranging in age from their 20s to their 40s and spread out everywhere from Los Angeles to Manchester, you can see the genuine terror they suffered - and, in some cases, continue to suffer.

June 05, 2015 Ascher plunges us into the actual visions that sleep paralysis creates: the moving silhouette figures, the darkness, the static. The sense of terror is palpable.

December 31, 2015 Both the re-creations and the interviews themselves are filmed for maximum spookiness.

January 17, 2017 The Nightmare squanders [its] subject in a shallow, messy and frustrating documentary that tends towards the pseudo-intellectual and paranoid.
