Description: “The Sleep: Survival Horror (Part One)” is a 2022 American horror film that follows a group of young adults subjected to a supernatural experiment on Halloween night. They must confront both real-life terrors and the darkness within their own minds, leading to a deadly struggle where they may end up killing each other—or themselves. Written, directed by, and co-starring Devin Rice, the film also features Stephanie Pearson, Jacqueline Rice, Samantha Jean, Casey Leach, Kendall Chappell, Kaylah Pantaléon, Jordan Wilson, Giselle Torres, and Chris Cleveland. It is produced by Devin and Jacqueline Rice.
Originally titled “The Sleep: Survival Horror (Part One),” the movie begins with a message from the director urging viewers to watch it on the largest screen possible, with maximum volume, and in a dark setting. This is followed by a warning about the film’s intense psychological terror, which some have compared to being trapped in an insane asylum. Those with fragile mental states are advised to stop watching immediately.
The film opens with a news segment about mass shootings, followed by a commercial for Paxoloft, an anti-anxiety medication. It then shifts to a heavy-handed debate on gun control, where both sides present extreme views. The story unfolds on Halloween Eve, as friends Stacy (Giselle Torres), Jack (Casey Leach), and Brandon (Devin Rice) gather for a party that quickly spirals into a bizarre exploration of conspiracy theories.
