Leave your thoughts about In My Sleep.
| Shared DarknessBrent SimonFor a while pulls levers of dramatic engagement competently if never rivetingly, but unravels into a labyrinthine tangle of soap-y contrivance and improbably centralized conflict. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittHideous-looking, poorly acted, nonsensical and a waste of actor Tony Hale (Buster from "Arrested Development"), "In My Sleep" could turn you into a sleepmoviegoer. |
| The Hollywood ReporterDuane ByrgeA well-stirred titillation that will appeal to twentysomething audiences and movie-buff viewers who appreciate the pursued-pursuer, Hitchcockian style of suspenser. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfLittle screen finesse to support Wolf's aspirations, leaving behind an ambitious but inept production that has difficulty maintaining chills, thrills, and, well, camera focus. |

| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezSpectacularly witless, In My Sleep is another depressing reminder of what happens when you give cameras to jocks. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinWriter-director Allen Wolf loads In My Sleep with so much psychosexual baggage you wish he just focused on one emotional affliction to propel this mediocre whodunit. |
| Time OutS. James SnyderThat we never actually meet his Mr. Hyde is an inventive twist, but all the labored explanations (and tedious psychology) that follow the bad behavior and bloodshed make for a serious buzzkill. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)Hideous-looking, poorly acted, nonsensical and a waste of actor Tony Hale (Buster from "Arrested Development"), "In My Sleep" could turn you into a sleepmoviegoer. |
