Watch Don't Go to Sleep For Free

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Dennis Weaver and Valerie Harper are well-cast as bickering marrieds with two kids who move into a new house apparently haunted by the ghost of Jennifer, their deceased eldest child--whom only the younger daughter can see or hear. This Aaron Spelling-produced TV movie is pitched way over the top. Between Weaver whining about his reputation at his new job and crusty curmudgeon Ruth Gordon as Harper's mother (who moves in along with the family), it's doubtful any spirit would want to attach itself to this noisy brood. Hectic supernatural thriller picks off its cast unsympathetically, while director Richard Lang shows no talent for handling child actors. Derivative teleplay by Ned Wynn (actor Keenan's son) is full of familiar elements, tastelessly rendered.

watch-movies-online.TV has a copy of this movie. It is amazingly done especially for its time and TV-movie status. I first saw this movie when I was 7 or 8 years old and all I remembered was bits and pieces. I have looked and looked for a way to find even the title to this movie. I talked to movie buffs and finally entered the correct key words into google search and found a summary that fit my memory. I then began looking for a copy of this movie, and though it definitely should have been, it wasn't released on video. today a friend introduced me to the website above and for giggles and hahas I looked to see if it had this movie. It did and after watching it again, I found that it was not just my age that made this movie scary. It is a genuine suspense/thriller.

For those who are critical of this movie, I want to REMIND them that this movie was extreme and excellent for its TIME. I'm so happy I found the title and just like so many of you, I saw it as a kid, my eyes bugged out at the under the bed scene and when she wielded the pizza cutter AT HER MOTHER (OMG!) haha! and for months, couldn't get it out of my head, so I clicked "old horror pizza cutter" into my search engine until I found the title!! YAY! It cracks me up on how many of us were kids when we saw it and how most of us probably didn't sleep right for a few nights- too funny!I would LOVE to see a remake in today's special effects!! The plot was excellent, effects..well it was the 80's and the best thing we ever had was E.T. and pac man. Other stuff that made its impression on me, was the mini-series V (sadly it looks too fake now to be pulled in) that series with that family who traveled thru out the galaxy- have to still look that title up, oh and there's others. The Twilight Zone and Outer limits were always good for freaking me out. Good stuff!
