Storyline
Trevor Reznik is a lathe-operator who suffers from insomnia and hasn't slept in a year. Slowly, he begins to doubt his sanity as increasingly bizarre things start happening at work and at home. Haunted by a deformed co-worker who no one seems to think exists, and an ongoing stream of indecipherable Post-It notes he keeps finding on his fridge, he attempts to investigate what appears to be a mysterious plot against him and, in the process, embroils two women in his madness. Written by J. Lake

Trivia
Brad Anderson wanted his film to have the same kind of visual expressionistic feel as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Nosferatu, Vampyr and I Walked with a Zombie. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: The energy bill that Reznik opens, 20 minutes into the film, shows the unlikely meter number of "123-456789". Presumably it was hoped this would not be spotted with the distraction of the large FINAL NOTICE above it. See more »Soundtracks
