Before I Wake

Before I Wake (2016) is a horror film you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Mike Flanagan and starring Kate Bosworth, Thomas Jane, and Jacob Tremblay. A grieving couple takes in an eight-year-old boy from foster care. He hides caffeine pills under his mattress. He refuses to sleep.

Jessie and Mark soon find out why. When Cody drifts off, his dreams spill into the waking world — butterflies drift through the living room, flowers bloom on the ceiling, and their late son appears at the dinner table. But the same ability brings something darker: a shapeless thing Cody calls the Cannibal, and it doesn't stop at dreams.

Mike Flanagan — writer-director of Oculus and Hush — builds the dread through parental grief rather than jump scares. Tremblay, fresh off Room, carries the film's emotional core without missing a beat. Stream Before I Wake (2016) in high quality on iFILM.
