Ross is a skilled filmmaker with a promising future, but this movie ultimately ends up being a Shudder release that didn’t fully work for me. Go to Full Review Matt Donato Daily Dead Apr 15
3/5
The right moments become so articulately terrifying, and while underwhelming elsewhere, there's a refreshing endurance about Ross' follow-through. Go to Full Review Chad Collins Dread Central Oct 24

Wild paranormal lore and serious scares render Parasomnia a real winner. Go to Full Review Bee Delores B-Sides & Badlands Oct 24
2/5
The story of Parasomnia becomes convoluted and strange by the third act, quickly going off the rails. While the filmmaker makes some bold choices, it is all unfortunately devoid of clear intent and energy beyond Matthews’ star-making performance.

3/5
While its ultimate reveal becomes somewhat convoluted, Parasomnia is an eerie, nightmarish horror that personifies the paralysing fear that comes with night terrors and injects that into every scene. Go to Full Review Kat Hughes THN Sep 2
4/5
Another sleep based horror certain to keep viewers up at night, Parasomnia is a bold, bloody and bloodcurdling feature debut. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
