The human brain, Anthony Scott Burns suggests, is the ultimate horror movie director, and the sleep paralysis demons of 'Come True' are just an extreme form of the standard-issue nightmares we all unwillingly create on a regular basis. It's one thing to be tormented. It's another thing to face the grim reality that you're tormenting yourself. - Jake Watt Read Jake's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-come-true-impressively-eerie-and-visually-striking

60/100 A nerdy and somewhat outcast girl signs up for a sleep experiment and things get strange. Very cosmic in nature, the film tinkers around with the sleep paralysis / shadow people mythology in a very different way than previously explored. The subject matter kept me thoroughly engaged despite it being incredibly slow and easily 30 mins too long ...you're going to need to be patient. It never really lets you know what's going on but provides some macabre, creepy imagery and a pretty profound twist at the end that made me smile. Your reaction may differ. -- DrNostromo.com
