I had to pinch myself to convince myself I wasn’t sleeping.
Relativity is apparently finally releasing Before I Wake, the long delayed horror film from Mike Flanagan, on September 9, 2016.
While Relativity has been working out their bankruptcy woes, the director of Oculus has gone on to film not only the excellent slasher, Hush, but also Ouija: Origins of Evil, which looks absolutely insane.
The fresh child-horror film, starring Kate Bosworth, Thomas Jane, Dash Mihok, Annabeth Gish and The Room‘s Jacob Tremblay, follows a young couple who adopt an orphaned child whose dreams – and nightmares – manifest physically as he sleeps.
Here’s the fill synopsis to go along with the brand new theatrical trailer:
“Jessie and Mark, recovering from the death of their young son Sean, decide to take in 8-year-old Cody as a foster child. Cody seems sweet, loving and bright in every way, except that he is afraid to sleep. They soon discover why: Cody’s dreams manifest in reality as he sleeps. In Jessie’s grief, she tries to use Cody’s supernatural abilities to reconnect with her dead son. Soon she discovers that Cody’s nightmares manifest as well, as they experience both the intense wonder – and intense terror – that only a child’s imagination could conjure. To save their new family, Jessie and Mark must uncover the truth behind Cody’s nightmares.“
