People Who Die Mysteriously In Their Sleep (2004)


PEOPLE WHO DIE MYSTERIOUSLY IN THEIR SLEEP  (2004)

Here's a potentially interesting comic idea that goes nowhere for 90 long minutes. It's a "sampling movie," made out of clips from "The Lost World", "The Golem", "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" and several other horror classics spliced together with a soundtrack added to tell a story that has nothing to do with the original films. Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with anything else, either. It's all but undecipherable and spectacularly unfunny. The only amusing bit comes when Max Schreck's vampire in "Nosferatu" explains his thoughts and motives in the bizarre vocal cadences of Christopher Walken. If the rest of it doesn't bore you to death, you'll at least wish you were watching "Nosferatu" or "The Lost World" instead.
