Linda Shows Her Stuff!, Jan 14 2001
By Jason Paul Collum - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dead Sleep (VHS Tape)
This nifty little Australian chiller allows our favorite vomit spewer to ACT! Linda Blair plays a nurse in a COMA-type hospital where patients check in, but don't check... well, you get the cliche. Some certain doctors are performing evil deeds, but not necessarily of the supernatural calliber. The story keeps the events in realistic situations and Blair wisely underplays the terror of what she's uncovering as the outsider. As she learns more of the hospitals secrets, the dark corridors and cold personel make for a truly unnerving setting. The films climax definitely had me biting my nails as our heroine tries to escape once her cover is blown. With the exception of a brief nude scene with Blair (tisk tisk), this is a higer end made-for-television type thriller I wish I could see more of on Blair's resume. Bottom line... creepy, quick moving and satisfying.

Taut Thriller, Feb 25 2012
By Stefan Crane "Stefan Crane" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dead Sleep (DVD)
I won't go into the plot of the film, albeit, it is a good one.
The screenplay is well written, taut and full of some great twists and entertaining turns.
The acting is above par.
The editor gives this film more, with less. Great editing in this film.
This is an atmospheric thriller that entertains, without boring one with useless "needless filler" scenes, and is a great view for a horror fan who doesn't like the gore.
Great film.
