Sleep.Walk.Kill. (2022)

Directed and written by Justin Miller, Sleep.Walk.Kill. is about what happens after an Earth-shattering sound heard along the entire East Coast. The next night, people start walking — and killing and chowing down on their prey — in their sleep. Edgar is stuck with his ex-wife Ady, his parents and his neighbors hiding out at his house. And all of these folks may be even worse than the flesh-eaters outside.

Shot in Yardley, PA, this is made with a cast of Philadelphia-based comedians, which helps, as it’s quite talky in parts. It also remembers that zombie fighting idea from Night of the Living Dead: when in doubt, hide in the basement. This movie is unique in that not only does it have sleepwalking zombies — I mean, will they die if you wake them up? — but it also presents the idea that death just might be preferrable than living with your family in close quarters.

Sleep. Walk. Kill. is available on demand and on digital from October Coast.
