As Hyeon-soo and Soo-jin await the birth of their first child, struggling actor Hyeon-soo begins to exhibit increasingly bizarre sleep disturbances. Beginning with talking in his sleep, he soon begins sleepwalking, eating, and injuring himself. After consulting a sleep clinic without success, Soo-jin turns in desparation to a shaman - and begins to consider some disturbing possibilities for the true meaning of her husband's behaviour. An atmospheric slow-burn of a horror film with compelling characters and some shocking twists and turns, Sleep will definitely stay with you!
