Written, directed by and co-starring Devin Rice.

The movie also stars Stephanie Pearson, Jacqueline Rice, Samantha Jean, Casey Leach, Kendall Chappell, Kaylah Pantalon, Jordan Wilson, Giselle Torres and Chris Cleveland. Produced by Devin and Jacqueline Rice.

Guest review:The Sleep, originally titled The Sleep: Survival Horror (Part One), opens with the following message, The director recommends that you watch this film as BIG as you can, as LOUDLY as you can, and in a dark room.

That is followed by another message WARNING This film contains true psychological terror that can lodge in your mind without you knowing it Some have likened this film to being a patient within an insane asylum. If you are mentally frail, we advise you to stop the movie immediately. Sounds like someone is trying a bit too hard, doesnt it?

After yet a third message about The Sleep being a work of fiction that could happen to anyone we finally get to the actual film. A news anchor talks about mass shootings followed by a commercial for Paxoloft, an anti-anxiety and depression medication. Then were thrust into a ham-handed debate on gun control with both sides taking extreme positions. Im just six minutes in and Im ready to turn it off.

Its Halloween Eve and several friends including Stacy (Giselle Torres, Misfit; I Want You Back), Jack (Casey Leach, Pam & Tommy; Sodom & Gomorrah), and Brandon (Devin Rice) have gotten together for a party. However, it seems to have gone down a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories instead. Read full review at Voices from the Balcony
