Criminal psychologist Kate Fuller is assigned to the murder of a man who has seemingly been strangled in his sleep by his wife and the only witness is their eight-year-old daughter, Sophie. As Kate digs into the mystery of an ancient demon which kills people in their sleep, she experiences the same petrifying symptoms as all previous victims and spirals through a chilling nightmare to save herself and Sophie before she dares fall asleep again.
What happens between waking and sleep? Clive Tongue’s Mara, starring Olga Kurylenko will let you in on it. This waking nightmare is brought to you by the same producers as Insidious and Paranormal Activity, and promises a similar level of terror.

Sleep paralysis is a fascinating, and largely untapped vein of potentially supernatural delights, which I can only hope will be fully realized in the film itself. “Mara” hits theaters this fall.
Until then, try to stay awake!
