BEFORE I WAKE, Mike Flanagan’s follow-up to last years OCULUS, has just released its first trailer, which can be found below. The chiller stars Thomas Jane, Kate Bosworth and Annabeth Gish, and no, it’s not an ill-advised sequel to last year’s BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP. This looks a lot better.
In this intense and heart pounding supernatural thriller, Jessie (Kate Bosworth) and Mark (Thomas Jane) decide to take in a sweet and loving 8-year-old boy, Cody. Unbeknownst to them, Cody is terrified of falling asleep. At first, they assume his previous unstable homes caused his aversion to sleep, but soon discover why: Cody’s dreams manifest in reality as he sleeps. In one moment they experience the incredible wonder of Cody’s imagination, and in the next, the horrific nature of his night terrors. To save their new family, Jessie and Mark embark on a dangerous hunt to uncover the truth behind Cody’s nightmares.
BEFORE I WAKE opens May 8th.
