User Review - 10/10 by Laura RMy sister and I have always been horror genre fans and this was one our favorites as kids. This movie may have been a made for TV movie but, it was still effective in giving a good scare. There is ust something scary about tales of ghosts, revenge, possesion, and creepy children. We used to chase each other around wheeling the pizza cutter and making creepy voices and have a good laugh after we would watch this movie. I bought us both copies of it as adults and we had a good laugh.

User Review - 10/10 by jd cDon't Go To Sleep (1982) is a very hard movie to get a hold of. There is no DVD release yet for this movie, but there are copies floating around the internet. This was a made for TV movie and let me tell you, this scared the crap out of me back in the day. What a creepy ass movie this was. The movie is about a family of four, the parents and their two children, who move into a new home and try to start their life over after the death of their oldest daughter Jennifer, which resulted from a freak car explosion. The two other young kids, who happened to survive the car explosion, are Mary and her brother Kevin. The house that the family moved into belongs to Bernice, which is Mary and Kevin's grandmother. Everything seems fine at first but the terror begins when Mary starts hearing her deceased sister Jennifer calling for her from underneath the bed. Of course it turns out that Mary's parents don't believe her and they even blame her younger brother Kevin for scaring Mary. Little did they know that Kevin was indeed an innocent bystander and the voices that Mary was hearing might actually really be coming from her dead sister Jennifer. Things get even worse from here and the ghost of Jennifer now actually becomes visible to Mary. Jennifer's ghost becomes Mary's new playmate, and there's nothing or nobody that will stand in their way because Mary will make sure of that. After a few days of hanging out with her deceased sister, Jennifer tells Mary of a new plan that she has. She tells Mary that she must kill her family off one by one, or else they can no longer be together. Mary, scared to loose her older sister again, decides that this plan might just be a good idea and from here on is where things start becoming very deadly. Mary's family start slowly dropping like flies, but in the beginning it's not really visible to who is really killing them. And here's where the question lies...is Mary the one actually killing her family off one by one, or is it really the ghost of her dead sister Jennifer? This movie was very eerie. There is no violence or anything like that, being that it was a made for TV movie, but the things that they suggested I'm surprised that they got away with that much. The acting isn't the greatest, but what do you expect from a made for TV horror movie? It was good enough for what it was and it never gets too unbearably cheesy. The voices that came from underneath Mary's bed were scary as hell, and Jennifer's ghost was truly spine tingling. The story was also very well told, and what's even creepiest out of the whole thing was the ending that left me sleeping with the lights on (of course I was younger at the time), but it still packs a punch. This movie is very hard to find and as I said it isn't officially released on DVD yet. If you really want to see this movie just look around for a copy on the internet, but good luck finding it. The only reason why I have it is because I bought a copy from a horror convention, and luckily it was very good quality. Anyways, you should really try to see this movie.

User Review - 8/10 by Dissolved PNot out on DVD yet and it really should be.
User Review - 8/10 by Tracey SVery eerie but enjoyable early 80's made for tv horror about a family who move into a new place to try and forget their dead daughter. Turns out she wants her sister to know that she's still around in spirit, so she likes to hide out under her bed and freak her right out by saying her name in the middle of the night. I've heard really good things about this and it lived up to the hype somewhat, I kinda felt like the movie was a little too long for the subject matter. I think it would have played better in a twilight zone type anthology show personally, but those are small sour grapes...the film in general is very good for what it is. Valerie Harper and Dennis Weaver do a great job as the parents, Ruth Gordon was an amazing actress and does the stubborn old bitchy grandmother perfectly. Robin Ignico who played Mary did a great job looking terrified and Oliver Robins as Kevin (The little boy in Poltergeist) did a good job as the snot nose brat brother. The dead sister Jennifer played by Kristin Cummings was beautiful and creepy all at the same time, which is hard to do especially for a child actor. The family unit in this is very believable for a made for tv horror and I strongly suggest you watch this if you can find it, because I heard its out of print. This is a pretty good middle of the week watch and you could do alot worse as far as tv horror movies go. This also makes a good family horror movie because its not overly scary, no foul language and isn't really graphic...but is just creepy enough to be really enjoyable.
