If you're interested in something different, there's the 2011 Korean film, Sector 7 that takes place on an oil rig.

Edit: I guess it isn't on Netflix anymore. Oops.

I found Netflix pretty lacking right now sadly. Had to go to Vudu and buy better movies instead.

I'd recommend The Nightmare. It is a slick documentary style film about real people's experiences with sleep paralysis and night terrors. Moody, tense, and spooky.

Ive had sleep paralysis forever and thought they could have done much more beyond shadow people and interviewing a grown man that had episodes as a child. I could list off a dozen better sleep paralysis nightmares easily.

Awful opinion. It wasn't supposed to be scary. It was more period drama with some psychological thriller to it.


And...it's bad. Bad acting, particularly the central performance from Thomas Jane which has maybe the most over-pronounced accent in the history of film, too many rat scenes, bad acting from the younger stars. It goes on and on and not in a good way. It looks nice at times, but that's about it.

I'm not representing myself as the definitive review on this film, but I think most people who watch it will have a similar view. It's not good.

This the first time I read of a complaint against its acting. Most reviews more criticized its character development and comended Thomas Jane's portrayal of an intelligent nebraskan farmer. Its your opinion and all, but I'd say objectively its not terrible acting. Its at least OK and at most good.
