CLOSE YOUR EYES (a.k.a DOCTOR SLEEP) is a taut and intelligently crafted thriller that keeps you glued to the screen as soon as it gets started, I'm not going to sum up the plot, I'd rather just tell you go get the film, take it home, pop it into your player and press the play button, then let the film take you on a real psychological trip.What I will do is tell you that the cast does a great job with their performances, the script is highly intelligently written and the direction is rock solid, if you're still having doubts about whether or not you want to see this film, I can't say anything that'll be encouraging, the comments I've posted on IMDb have been helpful to some and not so helpful to others, so what can I say to you that will get you to see this film besides that its a good movie? Just go and get this movie it is that good.

This is one of those films that you watch and can't believe that it that it hasn't been feted by all and sundry.A superb screen play, fantastic casting,flawless direction, there is very little wrong with this film at all, except...........it may be a little too complex for the masses.Yes, you have to put a bit of thought into this one to enjoy it to it's maximum potential.If you do however, you are rewarded with an intelligent exciting movie.There are enough twists and turns in the film to keep you hooked throughout.A truly undiscovered gem.

Gorin Visnic pulled this movie off well. I was unsure of his acting outside of ER. The movie has a cool plot, and there a few leaps we must make with character actions and general believability, but how many supernatural movies don't require such. I'm not saying call the Academy, but as mentioned this is a 'sleeper' movie that will entertain you if you enjoy the supernatural thriller genre. I was glad I rented it, and I'm a bit picky in general. It isn't the fastest paced film as it develops slowly, but you'll probably like it if you like Gorin. The female lead is credible as well, as is Gorin's wife in the film. The Supernatural element of the movie was a new one to me, which is further reason I'm taking the time to write this, as I thank those who have done such for me, as it drives a fair amount of my 'tweener' rentals. Ciao!

As you can probably see, this movie is not very well known and the odds of many people reading this are highly unlikely. I had never heard of it until I saw it at Blockbuster in the "pre-viewed" buying section. I was skeptical of buying because I had never heard of it and my movie range is quite large. I bought it anyways, and I have to say I wasn't thrilled with it but I enjoyed it.It's not the the type of movie you own and actually watch/want to watch like the regulars. However, if you're in the right mood, then you can thoroughly enjoy it. You can get into it. There are moments where you could scream at the characters in the movie for doing the typical, stupid, clichéd things that appear in most "suspense" movies. There are parts that will make you cringe possibly, if you're the squeamish type. Its all a matter of what type of person you are.This movie is not completely original in all aspects, but neither are the Screams and Halloweens, but people still enjoy them. This is how I see this movie. It's not a well done, fantastic movie---It's just entertaining. With a pretty good and fitting ending I must say.I gave this movie a 6.5/10
