CHECK IN AT THE SUNNY HILL HOTEL – IT’S TIME FOR SLEEP!
SLEEP is available now on the essential, alternative streaming service ARROW. It is the debut feature from Michael Venus, a major new talent in world cinema.
Watch the trailer here:
Nightmare and trauma. Fear and repression. Guilt and atonement. Weaving together the emotional violence of horror with the cryptic motifs of German folk and fairy tales, SLEEP plunges the viewer into a nightmare world in a mysterious hotel, in a small village – where secrets are buried deep and horrors await at night. Intense, erotic, enigmatic and scary has hell – welcome to the world of SLEEP.
Richly conceived and confidently told, with superb performances and nerve-shredding sound design, director and co-writer Michael Venus draws influence from Mario Bava, David Lynch, Franz Kafka and the Brothers Grimm, The Wicker Man and The Shining, but his voice is uniquely his own. As invested in substance and story as he is in style, Venus claws his way down to the roots of what haunts a people, a community, a nation – and comes up screaming.
