A documentary featuring a kind of 12-step type meeting of people suffering from sleep paralysis. One by one they tell their particular story and some of them scared me near to death. Especially that one about the shadow man who came in that girl's bedroom every night and walked right up to her bed, bent over her and stared into her eyes from a distance of about ONE INCH. OMG. And the guy who had the downright hideously frightening space-alien types standing by his crib at night with their electric grins and reaching in with their great big hands. Everyone in this documentary is one hundred percent believable, which makes for a riveting flick. Like many who reviewed this movie here I've experienced sleep paralysis complete with scary sounds and figures. Mine were made of flame and smoke and the fear was so bad that once I finally was able to rip myself awake I was too scared to fall back to sleep though I desperately needed to. I think this has something to do with the fact that I won't have a mirror in my room if I can see it from my bed.
