The Shadow in My Sleep (2025)
Language: English | Runtime: 45 minutes | Genre: Suspense / Thriller / Horror
An intense and chilling horror-thriller, The Shadow in My Sleep has captivated audiences and critics across the globe.
Directed by Richard Samson and produced by Cynthia Samson, the film stands as their second successful release of the year.
Story Overview
The story follows Sheena (played by Cynthia Samson), a working professional struggling with deteriorating mental health. Undergoing virtual psychiatric sessions with Dr. Elias Stone (played by Dris Abdel Rahim), she battles terrifying nightmares and hallucinations involving paranormal activity.
Living with her supportive brother Eric (played by Richard Samson), Sheena’s fragile stability is shaken when he leaves the city, forcing her to stay alone. What follows is a terrifying descent into chaos—unexplained events, violent encounters, and a growing fear that something sinister is lurking within her home.
As the story builds toward a shocking climax, it leaves viewers questioning reality itself:
Are these horrors real, or are they manifestations of Sheena’s mind? Is there a human threat—or something far more supernatural?
