Phil Hoad Guardian 1d
3/5
Despite this sturdy constriction, the film remains only mildly scary... But there is an undeniable astuteness and agility in the storytelling here on which Ross can build. Go to Full Review Matt Orozco Macabre Daily 2h
"Parasomnia" is one of the few films in horror that makes sleep truly scary, and James Ross II’s debut feature is proof that he has a bright future ahead, as does the cast in this terrifically terrifying film! Go to Full Review Callie Hanna FandomWire 2d
8/10
Much of the film's strongest moments are when it forces its main character and by extension the audience to simply exist in familiar spaces like a house or a beach but in a way that doesn't feel quite right. Go to Full Review Codie Allen fade in, breathe out (Substack) 3d
3.5/5
For anyone who has ever been afraid of what might happen after closing their eyes, Parasomnia understands that fear all too well. Go to Full Review Misty Layne Flickering Myth 4d
4/5
Parasomnia is genuinely frightening, gory, and tackles grief in a way that makes it stand out from other grief-driven horror. It’s one of the better indie horror movies that have come out this year, and it makes for a fantastic watch. Go to Full Review James D. Williams InSession Film Apr 30

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 Read all reviews
