You know, one of the great parts about doing this kind of thing is that, generally, you learn something new and usually interesting every day. And what I learned today is that the Halloween Horror Nights show down in MGM Studios Florida had a short film contest.
This is one of those films.
In this one, a sleepwalker discovers that his nightly walks can lead to something a lot more sinister than waking up naked in public.
It’s not a bad film–I can see why it made it to the finals of the Halloween Horror Nights festival–but by like token, I really can’t see it doing much good. The ending was fairly predictable, and it didn’t bring anything that new or original to the table. I would’ve liked to see it try something different and exciting, but it is what it is and it didn’t turn out that badly. Especially considering you’ll only put three minutes into watching it.
The Screenhead Ten Scale, therefore, gives Sleep Walker a six out of ten for doing a passable job, but not taking as many chances as it might have.
