Movie review - "Before I Wake" (2016) **1/2

I love Mike Flanagan's direction - spooky atmosphere, creepy dead kids, weird houses, emphasis on emotions. The story feels a little slight after a strong beginning and Kate Bosworth doesn't really have the chops to carry off the film (though she's playing someone grieving so her lack of expression kind of helps). Thomas Jane's hair is distracting and I was confused by the ending.
