OCULUS Director Mike Flanagan’s BEFORE I WAKE Trailer

Director Mike Flanagan‘s last film, Oculus, proved to be a surprisingly original and chilling horror film, so needless to say, his next project, now titled Before I wake, has a certain amount of anticipation surrounding it. The film stars Kate Bosworth, Thomas Jane, Annabeth Gish, Dash Mihok, and Jacob Tremblay, and revolves around an 8 year-old boy whose dreams manifest into reality. A new trailer was released on Twitter earlier today that you can check out below.

Before I Wake opens in theaters May 8th.

In this intense and heart pounding supernatural thriller, Jessie (Kate Bosworth) and Mark (Thomas Jane) decide to take in a sweet and loving 8-year-old boy, Cody. Unbeknownst to them, Cody is terrified of falling asleep. At first, they assume his previous unstable homes caused his aversion to sleep, but soon discover why: Cody’s dreams manifest in reality as he sleeps. In one moment they experience the incredible wonder of Cody’s imagination, and in the next, the horrific nature of his night terrors. To save their new family, Jessie and Mark embark on a dangerous hunt to uncover the truth behind Cody’s nightmares.
