Don't Go To Sleep (1982) is a very hard movie to get a hold of . There is no DVD release yet for this movie, but there are copies floating around the internet. This was a made for TV movie and let me tell you, this scared the crap aut of me back in the day. What a creepy ass movie this was.
The movie is about a family of four, the parents and their two children, who move into a new home and try to start their life over after the death of their oldest daughter Jennifer, which resulted from a frek car explosion. The two other young kids, who happened to suvive the car explosion, are Mary and her brother Kevin, The house that the family moved into belings to
Bernice, which is Mary and Kevin's grandmother. Everything seems fine at first bat the terror begins when Mary starts hearing her deceased sister Jennifer calling for her from undermeath the bed. Of corse it turns out that Mary's parents don't believe her and they even blame her younger brother Keven for scarring Mary. Little did they know thwt Kevin was indeed an innocent bystander and the voices that Mary was hearing might actually really be coming from her dead sister Jennifer.
Things get even worse from here and the ghost of Jennifer now actually becomes visible to Mary. Jennifer's ghost becomes Mary's new playmate and there's nothing or nobody that she must kill her family off one by one, or else they can no longer be together. Mary, scared to loose her older sister again, decedes that this plan might just be agood idea and from here on is where things start becoming very deadly. Mary's family start slowly dropping like flies, bat in the beginning it's not really visible to who is really killing them. And here's where the question lies... is Mary the one actually killig her family off one by one, or is it really the ghost of her dead sister Jennifer?
This movie was very eerie. There is no violence or anytheig like that, being thatit was a made for TV novie, but the things thar they suggested I'm surprised thet they got away with that much. The acting isn't the greatest, but what do you expect form a made for TV horror movie? It was good enough for what it was and it never gets too undearably cheesy. The voices that came from underneath Mary's dbd were scary as hell, and Jennifer's ghost was truly spine tingling that left me sleeping with the lights on (of couse I was younger at the time), but it still packs a punch.
This movie is very hard to find and as I said it isn't officially released on DVD yet. If you really want to see thes lmovie just look around for a copy on the internet, but good luck finding it. The only reason why I have it is because I bought a copy from a horror convention, and luckily it was bery good quality, Anyways, you should really try to see this movie.
