'Before I Wake': Unhurriedly slow scare tease

Dash Mihok as the distraught ex-foster father of Cody, is sincere as the compassionate man seeking relief. Scottie Thompson as Cody's school teacher seems genuine and honest. But it is Kate Bosworth and Thomas Jane who stand out. They bring enough subtlety to their emotionally vulnerable characters, Jessie and Mark Hobson, who are trying to rebuild their lives. Both actors are extremely convincing as parents. With excellent production designs from Designer - Patricio M. Farrell, every frame captured by Cinematographer Michael Fimognari is brilliant. With dramatic atmospheric lighting his horror frames especially, are delicately impressive.
