Although relatively subdued for much of its running time, Slumber eventually devolves into a lengthy, over-the-top climax that's both visually and narratively cheesy.

"Slumber" itself feels like it was loosely adapted from a few cursory Google searches.

A promising buildup is eroded by too many rote jump scares, leading to a conventionally hectic and silly climax further undermined by an inappropriately campy, late-arriving performance.

For horror hounds, Slumber may scratch a familiar itch but it ultimately fails to distinguish itself and, like most dreams, quickly fades from memory.

2.5/5

Slumber is a tug-of-war between boogeyman haunter and psychological destroyer, neither side dealing anything more than serviceable nighttime blows.

Of course it's a bad movie - Will Kemp is starring. Avoid any movie with him. If his name is on the list, you know, what to expect. It's a B-movie. And now I am too kind. "It mustn't take me". Scary! Really? No.

The worst horror movie I watched recently. It is so silly and bad acted. The direction is awful, the whole movie is so serious and that even with no real storyline. It is also completely forgettable.

Just once, can I get a horror movie where people have some sort of common sense. Just once, please.

couldn’t finish the movie. characters lack common sense. excessive, unnecessary, and annoying kissing sounds 25 mins into the movie. never made that many smacking noises simply kissing someone on the lips. bad acting. didn’t like it.

The name is very apt. It'll put you to sleep. Intriguing premise spoilt by pedestrian writing and an utterly silly climax.
