    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The actors were never given the script in its entirety so none of them knew of their character's fates, sometimes not until the day they were actually filming their scenes. This meant that the actors were - more often than not - stressed, nervous and apprehensive on the day of filming, ideal qualities for the film itself.
    • Goofs
      (at around 24 mins) The old man at the start says that their mobile phones, TV, etc. don't work but when Pablo and Angela go up to the third floor to get the keys (at around 1h) the TV is obviously on and working.
    • Quotes

      Álex: What's your show called?

      Ángela: While You're Asleep.

      Manu: While You're Asleep? Then who watches it?

    Original plot but pretty lead actress is irritating

    Movie started of well for me but got me irritated from mid till the end due to the lead actress overacting. As scared as she's suppose to portray, she didn't have to keep yelling throughout the whole movie. Although some of the other actors did over-do their roles in some scenes, they weren't as irritating. Some of the setup was obviously done to lead viewers for some scary moments but it seemed contrived & amateur making me feel as if i was an idiot audience. Won't go into details to spoil the movie for you. If the final third of the movie was as well thought-out as the rest of the movie, i would have given it an 8. for the most part, it serves as a good flick for horror genre viewers.
