this film be very creepy indeed . unfortunately and not for the reason the film maker would hope . there a mastermind serial killer too and but he not what creepy either . he just your standard comic book villain and a cross between hannibal lecter and freddie kruger and though with nothing particularly fresh to add to either . incidentally and for even the vile and most reprehensible of criminal and can they be detain chain in a stress position and on their foot and arm outstretched 24 hour a day week in week out . i suppose in the world that give u abu ghraib and guantanamo bay and anything possible . no and what really creepy about this film be the central character and danny . this unappealing young man and aid and abet it true by some ludicrously lax security arrangement and a doctor entirely careless of any notion of professional ethic or patient confidentiality and wanders into the hospital room occupy by what can only be describe a a highly vulnerable and defenceless young woman and and on the basis of nothing whatsoever ( her chronic sleep precludes from be able to give anything like informed consent ) imagine himself to have some sort of special relationship with her . seemingly within day and he have arrogate to himself the right to abduct her and believing ( completely falsely and a we discover ) that he be well able to care for her than anyone else and and within minute of get her back to his apartment and be sexually molest her though she be ( again due to her sleepiness ) entirely unable to consent or resist . our suspicion a to why he would feel this connection be pretty soon confirm . he be of course more or less unable to form any mature adult friendship and let alone sexual relationship and so instead fall back on this essentially infantilised woman and who because of her permanent sleeping have a mental age correspond to a lived experience of only a few year . the scene where she discover ice cream be particularly cringe making and and the coyly know look she give him when he gloatingly say he will have to clean her up again cause a particular shudder of horror . but again and i be afraid and not that shudder of horror the film maker be hop for and but a much more straightforward spasm of revulsion . we can all see clearly what on the end of our fork here it the paedophile perfect dream of innocence and sexual compliance and utter dependence . horrible and horrible and horrible . what else have we get in this mish mash . twisted dreamscapes not quite as good a del toro . the compulsory you need to go to the police argument and where the lead character always have a reason for not do so even though it the only sensible course of action . the automaton sequence and much praise in the comment here and though completely and utterly pointless ( it serve no function . and a sigourney weaver memorably protest in galaxy quest ) and look to me just like the abominable doctor phibes rehash in one of the saw derivative . jeffrey comb do his best though and so a star for that and and a couple more because you have to keep low ranking for film that be even bad than this and and in general this be well shot and competently perform .
