In My Sleep is a fast paced, gripping, edge of your seat thriller that will keep you guessing right up to the very end! The story plays out in an unpredictable and wonderfully spooky, which will keep you on your toes. In many ways this movie reminded me of a new age thriller that is reminiscent of the classics from master filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock. Truly a great new film from Director/Writer Allen Wolf that I highly recommend for all viewers!

Writer/director Allen Wolf has hit a home run with this indie motion picture in the tradition of Hitchcock. From the opening scene, the viewer is kept guessing with the main character, Marcus, who embarks on a mission to try to discover whether he committed murder and to search within whether he has the capacity for such an act. The plot is highly suspenseful and entertaining, but in the end the movie leaves the viewer thinking about the deep issues that Marcus explored within himself.

The screenplay is tightly written and the movie features strong performances by lead actors Philip Winchester, Lacey Chabert, and Abigail Spencer. Allen Wolf mixes superb humor into this thriller, keeping the audience entertained throughout. "In My Sleep" is truly a unique movie that you will not forget.

I am a huge Hitchcock fan, and his movies I enjoyed most were the taut psychological suspense films of his middle period, where you were constantly guessing throughout the film and revising your opinion until virtually the last moment, and then when you left the theater you were still pondering the themes that had been explored along the way. Allen Wolf has managed to recapture this spirit perfectly in his new independent film. Solid acting by Philip Winchester in the lead role and from the supporting cast as well makes the storyline engrossing and the characters believable. If you enjoy psychological drama, cerebral thrillers, or haunting suspense, then this film will surely reward.

Can you imagine going to bed and waking up with blood on your hands? Not knowing what you've done the night before? In My Sleep asks those questions and many more equally frightening ones, keeping you in suspense throughout, until the last satisfying and surprising revelation. There are even a few chuckles along the way! Worth the wait!

I was gripped from the beginning of this film to the end! I'm usually not a lover of thrillers, but this one was smart, well-paced, and had a great cast. By the end of the film, I had gotten so engrossed in it that I had forgotten where I was. That, to me, is a great movie!

I rarely rave about movies, but without exaggeration it's truly one of the best movies I've seen in a very long time.

The movie is a well-written edge-of-your-seat thriller, interlaced with incredible suspense, Hitchcockian elements, a fantastic plot, great intensity, wonderful musical score, and even humor along the way.

If you like movies like Memento and the Usual Suspects, and appreciate movies with twists and turns that keep you guessing the entire time, you'll love this movie. After I saw this movie, I couldn't stop talking or thinking about it. It's one of those movies that stays in your mind and makes you think through it and ask questions about it for several days. (And one that you'll want to see again once you figure everything out).

IN MY SLEEP is one of those rare movies that make you realize why indies still have the edge over their studio counterparts. This film has a wonderfully complex storyline, harkening back to the golden age of Alfred Hitchcock. It is a wonderful puzzle box that becomes move fun with each layer that is unraveled. These days with so many films playing it safe with cookie-cutter plots, this film gleefully "breaks the rules" with a wholly original plot that will surprise you as you try to put all of the pieces together.

In this film, the protagonist must follow the clues and unravel the mystery as to who murdered one of his best friends, even though the signs point to the bizarre conclusion that he may have killed her while he was sleepwalking.

The twists and turns will keep you guessing. What a fun film. I wholeheartedly recommend this indie-gem to all fans of thrillers and murder mysteries alike!

This story has so many twists and turns you have to pay close attention to the fine writing and direction by Allen Wolf. His cast is as strong as his plot. This kind of smart movie doesn't come along very often. See it.

It is a well-told story that is suspenseful. With all the twists and turns I couldn't guess the outcome. Definitely an unpredictable and entertaining story.

This film had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I even jumped at points. The film is mysterious, funny and an all around great ride! Take it home and enjoy it for yourself.
