How it scared people
The vibe
A husband starts doing things in his sleep — small things first — while his pregnant wife lies awake beside him. Jason Yu's chamber thriller wrings maximum dread from one apartment and one question: is this a medical problem or a visitor. Lee Sun-kyun's final lead role.

Sleep carries no MPAA certificate. We score it 3/5 for jump scares, 1/5 for gore and 4/5 for lingering dread, over 95 minutes. Very little blood — the hard part here is atmosphere and aftermath, not graphic content. Older teens and adults — less for what it shows than for how long it stays with you.
We rate what the film does — scares, gore, dread — not scene-level content like language or nudity, which we don't track.
