The Dead Don't Sleep, When The Pain Still Breathes.

Overview

In a community haunted by domestic strife and inter-community violence, a young Black man finds himself stalked by a sinister Apparition—an embodiment of generational trauma and suppressed identity. Battling to preserve his true sense of self against the crushing weight of societal expectations, he’s drawn into a spiraling psychological struggle where reality and nightmare blur. The film confronts the mental health toll of normalized violence and forces a reckoning with the unseen scars passed from one generation to the next.

A review by justinegallien

I enjoyed this movie. It has an interesting storyline. I am not a huge fan of horror movies but this movie did not disappoint. i love that it is about mental health which is something that is not talked about it shown much. The movie kept me at the edge of my seat. The entire cast was great but I have to say that Jeff Martin did his thing in the role as the sinister apparition. So proud of him and the entire cast. Looking forward to seeing more from the director and cast.
