'Before I Wake': Unhurriedly slow scare tease

It is only after a couple of mishaps, they realise that Cody will do anything to stay awake as he is haunted by the boogie man who he calls, "The Canker Man." Unlike a typical horror film, the script written by Director Mike Flanagan and Jeff Howard, invests a lot of time in character development and skilfully edge upon the supernatural elements, which are more of a scare tease. The horror elements which are measured and aesthetically incorporated in the narrative, after the initial round, gets predictable and are not scary at all. Being a character driven film, the pace of the narration is unhurriedly slow.
