Leave your thoughts about Before I Wake.
| Dread CentralJonathan BarkanMakes your heart soar...as much as it makes it pump in fear. |
| NerdistScott WeinbergWe're still not sure when Before I Wake will get a release, but I can tell you at least this much: it hasn't been delayed for reasons of quality. It's actually pretty fantastic, truth be told. |
| We Live EntertainmentFred TopelI am more fascinated by the way in which Flanagan and Howard weave the supernatural into a family story that comes first. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfHas its scary stuff, but it's after something more heartfelt between moments of shock and terror, with Flanagan and co-writer Jeff Howard digging a little deeper with the material. |
| Birth.Movies.Death.Travis LeamonsThe Canker Man makes Before I Wake a fine horror movie. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenBefore I Wake's images have a pleasing straightforwardness that parallels the openness of the young protagonist's longing for love. |
| AV ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyBefore I Wake has its imperfections and moments of narrative lag, but its thoughtful touches and attention to character load Cody’s abilities and the threat of the Canker Man with a dramatic weight that often outbalances the generically spooky imagery. |
| Film PulseBlake CraneA heartfelt chiller that keeps its supernatural terrors grounded in humanity, thanks to genuine characters brought to life by a solid cast. |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoBefore I Wake is a beautiful, meditative ghost story with one of the more rewarding horror payoffs I’ve seen in years. |
| The Blogging BansheeMolly HeneryThe film has a unique premise with beautiful imagery and strong performances. The plot can be a bit over-sentimental, leading to a few glaring plot holes in the final act, but it is still fascinating to watch. |
