Come True (2020) follows an 18-year-old who signs herself up for a sleep disorder study that becomes a nightmarish descent into her own mind. This film definitely has potential, it sets an intriguing tone and has some good sound design. However there isn't enough driving force and it falls short of being interesting.
Firstly, this film is way too visually dark. The lighting is extremely poor and it was very rare that I could actually see any of the shots clearly. I also expected a lot more from the colour palettes, which are mainly quite dull and rather lifeless to look at.
Something this film does very well is the sound design. It really helps to set the mood, and the original score is incredibly ominous and creates a good level of tension.
The movie gives us a good introduction to the characters, but unfortunately they are rather uninteresting and written in a very shallow manner; I wanted to know more about them but little information is provided. Additionally, the romance is very forced and feels completely out of place in the film. However, the acting is pretty good from everyone involved.
Unfortunately, this movie isn't an effective slow-burn, but I respect what the filmmakers are going for. The film starts by setting an eerie tone with strong mystery, but a lot is revealed way too soon making the last half of the film feel somewhat pointless. There just isn't enough going on, and I found the final plot twist to be incredibly ridiculous.
