COME TRUE (full review at Screen Realm)

Come True is a sci-fi horror movie and the second feature from writer / director Anthony Scott Burns.

Sarah (Julia Sarah Stone) is experiencing a hard time at home. Unable to sleep at her house, she alternates between a friends house and sleeping rough in a playground, returning home only to shower and collect her things for the day ahead. When she learns of a local sleep study she leaps at the chance to be a part of it. All she has to do is turn up at night and be monitored sleeping and so it seems to be the ideal solution to her predicament.

The purpose of the study is withheld from Sarah by research assistants Riff (aka Jeremy) (Landon Liboiron) and Anita (Carlee Ryski) and head scientist Dr Meyer (Christopher Heatherington). But as Sarah spends more nights at the experiment she beings to experience terrifying and visceral nightmares. It soon becomes apparent that all the participants in the study are collectively dreaming about a shadowy, glow-eyed figure.

I DON'T FEEL AT HOME IN THIS WORLD ANYMORE (full article at The Guardian Australia)

Ruth (Melanie Lynskey) is frustrated by the selfish and inconsiderate actions of other people. From exhaust-belching SUVs, to rude supermarket patrons, to the generally ill-mannered. She is bothered by things that in isolation might seem slight, perhaps even inconsequential, but they slowly congeal, amassing into a huge, morale-sapping void. With no single point of focus at which to direct her anger, the only possible route for Ruth’s frustration is for it to sit and simmer, until such a point as something causes it to boil over.

That boiling point comes when Ruth’s house is robbed. Her laptop and grandmother’s silverware is stolen and the police action on the matter is limited to the creation of a case number and the suggestion Ruth herself is at fault. Even when presented with an avenue for investigation, the law is hamstrung by its own listless investigative process. Ruth is made acutely aware she is the only one who cares.
