"Anchored by two fantastic lead performances from Tobey Maguire and Elisabeth Moss, the latest Stephen King (and Owen King) adaptation is an entertaining supernatural excursion with a strong emotional core."  - Michael Carthage, Associated Press




“I didn't love Sleeping Beauties,  but it has some interesting supernatural elements that kept me engrossed. Also working in its favor, was that it has a very unique vibe to it, despite playing with well worn genre tropes.” - Dave Cone, New York Post

"One of the better supernatural thrillers I've seen in some time. Sam Raimi's direction gives the film strong visuals and a sense of the unknown. But where the film really succeeds is the casting and how well each performers manages both the supernatural and emotional moments." - Ken Giles, Houston Chronicle








Rated R for violence, language and some frightening imagery
