After his mother dies, a man watches her via a coffin-cam, but something is in there with her.

In Watch Me Sleep, grief turns to obsession when Sean installs a 'coffin-cam' to keep vigil over his recently deceased mother. What begins as a desperate attempt to stay connected soon spirals into terror as the video feed captures movement--scratching, shifting, and the unmistakable sound of something pushing from inside the coffin. When the grave itself starts to respond, Sean realizes too late that what he's been watching has started watching him back.

Blending the dread of supernatural horror with the psychological unraveling of grief, Watch Me Sleep explores voyeurism, guilt, and the haunting consequences of refusing to let go. The film's unnerving premise unfolds as a slow-burn descent into madness, with imagery and atmosphere recalling The Autopsy of Jane Doe, Lake Mungo, and The Dark and the Wicked.

Directed by John Williams (The Slayers, Creatures of the Night) and Steve Wood, this eerie British production channels the traditions of folk horror and occult tension, where the supernatural grows from grief itself. What lies beneath the soil is not at rest--and some mysteries are too terrible to witness.

Bonus materials include trailers, an image gallery, and the film's original trailer. A chilling, high-production-value addition for fans of atmospheric, concept-driven horror.
