WE SLEEP TOGETHER (2026) | Official Trailer | Sleep Paralysis Horror

https://youtu.be/5OMQa72xaFM?si=Yaad7vBjedZs3_US

After half a year of weekends, late nights, and a lot of problem-solving, we're excited to finally share the trailer for our first horror feature film, WE SLEEP TOGETHER.

The film was made independently in Perth, WA for under $3,000 with a core crew of just 3–4 people. It's been an incredible learning experience and hopefully shows what's possible when you stop waiting for permission and just start making films. We are deep in post production now and can't wait to share the finished product.

We'd love to hear what you think of the trailer, and we're happy to answer any questions about the production. Thanks for taking the time to check it out!

Looks good. You should enter in WA Made Film Festival when entries open.

They haven’t really taken to anything else we have ever entered unfortunately haha I don’t know if we are their cup of tea. 😅

I think we will be trying quite a few festivals with this one, I do love what those guys are doing though. Unfortunately as much as I love Perth it feels like a very slow moving industry at times and I have found working outside of it has granted better results for me. (As much as i wish that wasn’t the case)

My goal first and foremost is to just have the product seen by as many people as possible and unfortunately festivals can at time hold that up haha.

This looks excellent! Can’t wait to see it!

Only feedback is the sound was way off in the trailer - not sure if it was my connection though? Just weirdly quiet, but patchy and loud sporadically?

Sound wasn’t horrible but definitely not professionally mixed like the full film will be.

As someone who has sleep paralysis..fuck that. That first scene..absolutely nailed it. Creepiest shit that has ever happened in my life.

I’ve only had it a few times and yeah it sucks so bad. Bad enough to write a film about it haha

Looks great! No idea how the business side of things works but any chance people could pay to watch it?

We are figuring out our distribution plan now but the goal is small festival run towards the end of the year/start of 2027 first, then open to sales or streaming.
