<\/a><\/p>\n\nA really creepy and fun documentary about the sleep disorder known as “sleep paralysis.” Directed by Rodney Ascher, who brought us Room 237<\/i> in 2013, about the obsessive audience reaction to Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining<\/i>. The Nightmare<\/i> is different, although there is a similarity in structure. It’s a documentary, but there are no “official” talking heads. It’s full-immersion into the topic, led by those who suffer from sleep paralysis. Complete with very frightening re-enactments. Really interesting.<\/p>\n
Have any of you reading experienced sleep paralysis? I never have, and for that I am thankful. <\/p>\n
