10 Horror Movies That Will Make You Never Sleep Again
4. Deadly Blessing
The film’s poster-art sells it as a very different experience, riffing on the one sleep-related scene that is sure to make your skin crawl. After a series of gory murders take place at an isolated farm, a trio of friends are advised to leave town to avoid meeting a similar fate. Of course because this is a horror movie they don’t do that, so they face the consequences.
Amongst the terror of all the murders one character, Lana, finds that she can’t even find respite in sleep. She dreams that a pair of hands reach down and grasp her head, forcing her mouth open so that a spider can hop in there.
I won’t claim that everyone has some form of arachnophobia because there are people out there that just love to have tarantulas and all sorts crawl all over them - but having a nondescript arachnid fall into your gaping mouth in bed whilst some unknown hands claw at your face really can’t be fun for anyone.
