         As a film critic, or even just someone who watches far too many movies, I find that I am rarely ever surprised anymore. To Sleep So as to Dream is the exception. This is the kind of film that can keep even the most avid film viewer on their toes. At the same time, it is a film made for film fans, specifically those familiar with the history of Japanese cinema.

        There have been enough home invasion films released in the last two decades to establish the tropes of the sub-genre, and The Long Night contains many of them. A couple travel to a remote location before they are trapped in a home by invaders, who seem to have the ability to enter the house any time they want. Phone lines don’t work, pets are early victims and warnings of violence to come, and the sudden arrival of additional visitors leads to their demise. The Long Night adds in occult and supernatural elements, but it is far from the first home invasion film to do this. It isn’t even the only home invasion film I watched this week to use this hybrid revision.
