The Sleeper (2012)
1/10
Sleeping is a better idea than watching this dud !

Warning: Spoilers
The only bearable part of this flick was the dancing scene and even that was fairly tame.

This flick apparently is an an attempt at being an homage to the 80s slasher movies. Nope, it don't come close, not scary, suspenseful, but rather hum-drum ~~ and VERY poorly acted.

Too many people these days are trying to make horror films with a minimal budget and modest talent. In the past couple of months, I've watched over a hundred horror & zombie genre flicks, and can mark only a handful at 5 or higher. It would be nice for a classic to come along one day soon: something to mark a line in the sand. If nothing NEW can be produced by the fine cinematic minds of today, then go all out to make a movie that surpasses one of the existing classics. This film falls terribly short. I had to rate it one.

Let me add that the several reviews that give a rating of 7 or higher are probably from cast or crew members, or their friends/relatives.
