New DEAD AWAKE Clip Features “Fatal Sleep Insomnia”

Taking a page from the playbook of Springwood teens haunted by Freddy Krueger, a patient in a new clip from Dead Awake is avoiding sleep, but he's managed to avoid slumber for over a year, and the psychological toll it's taken is unsettling to say the least.

"From the creator of the iconic FINAL DESTINATION franchise comes the paralyzing thriller DEAD AWAKE. Kate Bowman (Jocelin Donahue) is a straight-laced social worker who finds herself plunged into a world of supernatural terror while investigating a series of mysterious deaths. Each victim suffered from a chilling condition known as sleep paralysis, a nightmarish assault on the senses that immobilizes its victims as they dream. As a terrifying entity begins to haunt Kate’s friends and loved ones, she must fight to stay awake to stop the nightmare she’s unleashed!"

Directed by Phillip Guzman from a screenplay by Jeffrey Reddick, Dead Awake stars Jocelin Donahue (THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL), Lori Petty (TANK GIRL, POINT BREAK, OITNB), Jesse Bradford (BRING IT ON, ROMEO & JULIET, THE WEST WING), Jesse Borrego (CON AIR, 24), Brea Grant (DEXTER, HEROES), and James Eckhouse (THE AVENGERS, BIG).

Dead Awake comes out in theaters and on VOD beginning May 12th from FilmRise, and we'll be sure to keep Daily Dead readers updated on further details about the movie.
