I recently watched the docuseries The Nightmare (2015) on Prime. This picture interviews a series of people who go through life with sleep paralysis. They explain what they see at night and what it's like to sometimes be awake and unable to move which makes their life struggle with what's real and what isn't.
This series is directed by Rodney Ascher (Room 237). The interviews cover a wide variety of the effects of having sleep paralysis. Those with the condition have hallucinations and visions mixed with states of being unable to control their muscles leading to them facing challenges with reality. Their every day life is literally a nightmare. The film focuses heavily on interviewing people with the condition but not much about the history and evolution of those researched with the condition. Their stories and experiences are the focus.
In conclusion, The Nightmare does have an interesting matter that only feels like it scratches the service of the condition. I would score this a 5.5-6/10 but recommend seeing it once.
