    2.0 out of 5 stars Bad movie. Excellent sleep therapy.

    This movie is categorized as "horror" and it stars Linda Blair, so I was expecting a fun, scary ride. Instead it's basically built like a dull Lifetime Channel drama. A corrupt doctor is performing unethical experiments on his patients, so it's up to savvy nurse Linda Blair to expose him. The patients don't turn into monsters. There's no blood, gore or violence. Light bits of topless nudity are scattered throughout the film, but nothing truly exciting. In the final act, the corrupt doctor's acting becomes comically bad... but aside from that, there's not much entertainment here. Avoid.

    3.0 out of 5 stars For Linda Blair fans and those who need a sleep tonic

    It took me three nights to finish Dead Sleep because, you guessed it, I kept falling into a dead sleep. But I like Linda Blair and didn't mind resuming the movie the next night. It's not very complex or very thrilling or very surprising in its outcome but I like Linda Blair and she is the star.

    I think the movie had a good plot, but the details were a bit hard to follow at times. Look for her roommate, you'll recognize her easy!

    GREAT SUSPENSE MOVIE. GREAT IF YOU DON'T WANT GORE. BLAIR IS TERRIFIC AS THE NURSE WHO FINDS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TREATMENT PATIENTS ARE GETTING. SHE GOES UNDERCOVER WHEN A PATIENT DIES TO CATCH THE DOCTOR WHO PERFORMS THE TREATMENT. GOOD ACTING BY ALL. DON'T CARE FOR LINDA'S HAIR COLOUR. I LIKE HER NATURAL COLOUR HAIR.

    This film was made in 1990 & made in Australia (fans of Prisoner cell block H might recognise 'Jean vernon' lol).It stars Linda blair in the lead role as a nurse who uncovers strange goings on at the hospital shes working at,only to find herself soon in danger.This 'coma' style thriller is one of my faves of Lindas & is a superior b movie!
