Two young brothers, who, after hearing their Mother’s haunting bedtime story, are terrorized when it comes to life. Grimmfest says: A genuinely unsettling and unpredictable exploration of night terrors, all the more effective for its understatement. The supernatural / dream element could so easily be something the mother might do, just to prank and punish her kids, so that it’s only gradually that the viewer realises it’s something far worse. Bedtime Story is beautifully made, and creepy as all hell. And the score and use of sound is brilliant.
