We\u2019re used to attending in person in beautiful Montreal, Canada, but we\u2019re excited to cover this fantastic festival virtually too. Our coverage of this year\u2019s Fantasia Festival continues with our review of Anthony Scott Burns\u2019 Come True.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<p>There may only be seven basic story plots in fiction and film, but there is a myriad of ways in which to tell them. While some stories unfold in a straight line, clear to viewers paying even the slightest attention, others require something more from audiences \u2014 attention, yes, but also a willingness to be led on an unexpected and atypical journey. <strong><em>Come True<\/em><\/strong> belongs in the latter camp as it takes what feels like a straightforward horror premise and instead delivers something far more ambitious, challenging, and exciting.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah (Julia Sarah Stone) is a young woman in distress. On the outs with her mother over some unspecified conflict, she spends her nights sleeping at a friend\u2019s house or hidden away somewhere on the street. She\u2019s also suffering from nightmares, and when an opportunity arrives addressing both issues she jumps at the chance. A small sleep study welcomes her in, and while they don\u2019t reveal what it is exactly they\u2019re studying, they do offer Sarah a safe, warm bed for the night. What she doesn\u2019t know is that they\u2019re testing a device that let\u2019s them see a rough and fuzzy picture of what she\u2019s dreaming \u2014 and it doesn\u2019t portend well for any of them.<\/p>\n<p>The past few years have seen several horror films on the subject of sleep paralysis \u2014 <em>Dead Awake<\/em> (2016), <em>Slumber<\/em> (2017), <em>Mara<\/em> (2018) \u2014 with the second common element between them being that they\u2019re pretty terrible. Part of the issue has been a dull, traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach to the topic, but the same can\u2019t be said for writer\/director Anthony Scott Burns\u2019 <em>Come True<\/em>. The film wisely keeps the sleep paralysis angle to the periphery for much of the running time and instead finds conflict, drama, and wonder elsewhere in Sarah\u2019s journey. Once it does turn its attention back towards the sleep ailment it\u2019s with fascinating ideas and observations. It\u2019s as captivating as it is confusing at times, and it risks failing to satisfy with its tricky but daring denouement, but at least <em>Come True<\/em> is never dull.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah\u2019s situation quickly endears her to viewers, and Burns punctuates her drama with brief, nightmarish visuals teasing something just beyond our understanding. This isn\u2019t a film for jump-scare fans as it instead lets its unsettling imagery and dark wonders unfold far more methodically. The camera gives viewers a POV into Sarah\u2019s dreams and moves us forward, away from safety and towards uncertainty. A figure awaits, but who or what it is sits continually outside our reach.<\/p>\n<p>Burns acts as his own cinematographer and, as he did with his phenomenal \u201cFather\u2019s Day\u201d segment in 2016\u2019s <em>Holidays<\/em>, he effortlessly creates an atmosphere of dreamy movement and intent. There are moments that thrill through aggression and terror, but the bulk of this journey is captured with a deceptive lack of focus. Don\u2019t be fooled, though, as Burns knows exactly what he\u2019s doing right up through an ending guaranteed to absolutely delight some genre fans while frustrating others. There\u2019s a <em>Prince of Darkness<\/em> (1987) vibe to some of it, so it\u2019s safe to say I land squarely with the delighted. The evocative synth score by Pilot Priest (Burns again!) and Electric Youth adds to the feeling of being pulled through an atmosphere thick with precarious reality.<\/p>\n<p>While many of the film\u2019s threads are left intentionally vague and uncertain, only one risks being disturbing beyond the confines of the movie itself. Stone herself is in her twenties, but the character she\u2019s playing is never given a specific age. The assumption, though, from the class we see her in to her and her friend living at home, is that she\u2019s a teenager still in high school \u2014 which makes a mildly graphic sex scene she\u2019s a part of more than a little off-putting. The only argument that she\u2019s older is in the assumption that a sleep study wouldn\u2019t allow a minor to participate. It\u2019s not a deal-breaker, but some clarity here would have been beneficial.<\/p>\n<p><em>Come True<\/em> might not work in its entirety for some viewers, but it would be irresponsible to ignore its ambition and artistry in service of such a meticulous vision. It\u2019s a film that sits with you, floating around in your brain days and weeks after watching it, and that\u2019s far too rare of a joy to pass by. Those on its wavelength are in for an exhilarating, perplexing, and sublime journey that\u2019s as fresh in its execution as it is in its narrative. If the rest of you find yourself sleeping through it instead, well, good luck with that.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Like this articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Social Media category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>if you want to watch Movies or Tv Shows go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/dizi.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dizi.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a> <\/span> for forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/come-true-review\/#utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=come-true-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#\u2018Come True\u2019 Ambitiously Blends Terror and Science Fiction&#8221; Home Movies Reviews Rob Hunter September 3, 2020 Sleep paralysis haunts thousands of people every night, and now it&#8217;s finally interesting to the rest of us too.
