Waking Nightmare is available on VOD.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Currently available to stream on VOD, Waking Nightmare is a new indie-horror from Terror Films that follows a young woman who is struggling to cope with the loss of her friend. Jordan is prescribed Ambien to put an end to her sleepwalking, but she soon begins suffering from memory loss. After her mother finds her clothes covered in blood, Jordan begins to fear that her worst nightmare is coming to life.

Steve Craig: It's pretty wild. It was a low-budget production that we really wanted to push as far as we could in terms of what we could pull off stylistically. There were a lot of challenging moments and a lot of hurdles. But at the same time, it was a concept and a process that allowed me to experiment a lot with different styles and different inspirations. It's really what I was looking to be my first film, so it really turned out well for me.

But I would say that sort of visceral thrill and brutality, which I think that this film pulls off. There is a little bit of shock, which I think is okay. I think shock can be underrated. But also, that psychological twisting of the knife that's digging its claws into your inner psyche. I like to think we pulled that off with the performances in this movie. I think it's a good blend to have psychological horror and just visceral brutality.

What did you want the actors to bring out of the mother-daughter relationship here? However you look at it, it's an important aspect of the film. I was really grateful to have Diane. She pretty much stepped out of retirement to do it. She just had this spirit that I imagine would go all the way back to the 80s. She was so excited to be acting and just wanted to get the job done no matter what it took. When you're doing low budget, sometimes you have to figure out what the rules are.
