Watch the Terrifying Trailer of 'The Nightmare'

From Gravitas Ventures comes the first official trailer of The Nightmare, the upcoming horror documentary film directed by Rodney Ascher.

The Nightmare explores the phenomenon of sleep paralysis through the eyes of 8 very different people. Watch the trailer right here:

In The Nightmare, Ascher (director) interviews subjects who suffer from sleep paralysis — where one is awake, but completely unable to move, and sometimes beset by hallucinations — and then recreates these very personal visions and terrors. The result is a film Germain called “absolutely horrifying” when it premiered at Sundance.

Plot:
"From the director of “Room 237” comes a documentary-horror film exploring the phenomenon of sleep paralysis through the eyes of 8 very different people. These people (and a surprisingly large number of others) often find themselves trapped between the sleeping & waking worlds, totally unable to move but aware of their surroundings while being subject to frequently disturbing sights and sounds. Strangely, despite the fact that they know nothing of one another and had never heard of sleep paralysis before it happened to them, many see similar ghostly "shadow men." Just one of many reasons people insist this is more than just a sleep disorder. The film digs deep into not only the particulars of these 8 people’s uncanny experiences through elaborate, sometimes surreal dramatizations, but also explores their search to understand what they’ve gone through and how it’s changed their lives."
