Rodney Ascher directs this documentary about those suffering from sleep paralysis. The feature interviews eight affected people and uses expert testimonies to shed light on the condition which immobilises sufferers while they are suspended in a transitional state between being awake and asleep but are still fully aware of their surroundings. Accompanying symptoms include the appearance of terrifying hallucinatory figures, referred to as shadow men, that victims are physically unable to fight off and other disturbing visions.
Sufferers discuss their various experiences of the condition and how they try to combat the afflictions on a daily basis.
... After experiencing a number of terrifying nightmares, young student Janet (Jennie Linden) is sent home from her boarding school. Now under the care of her guardian Henry Baxter (David Knight), Janet's nightmares become more regular as she starts having disturbing visions of a mysterious woman dressed in white.
