One nice day in a suburban neighbourhood, everybody hears a weird and unexplicable noise from the skies - and from then on, everybody falls to sleep turns into a homicidal sleepwalker. And loveable loser Edgar (Bill Reick) becomes aware of this when his neighbour Lynn (Ashlee Rose Toll) comes over covered in blood, trying to kill him. He somehow manages to wake her up, upon which Lynn has to come to terms with the fact that she has just killed her husband Jeff (Zachary Uzupis) in her sleep. Realizing what's going on, Edgar races across town to save his ex Ady (Samantha Russell) he has still feelings for and who has just killed her current boyfriend in her sleep. Returning to Edgar's house, they also run into his parents (Ellen Boscov, Bob Quintana), his stoner uncle Pat (The Legendary Wid), his neighbour Paul (John Reshetar), Paul's pregnant wife Sarah (Raquel Watson), and teenaged Hazel (Melanie Rosedale), who has just witnessed her parents killing one another in their sleep. The group decide it would be best to sit it out in Edgar's basement with plenty of coffee while keeping one another awake. Thing is, this isn't very homogenous a group, and character's soon clash, be it Edgar's mum and Ady, self-righteous Paul and pretty much everybody, or uncle Pat, who's unable to properly grasp the situation, with all the others. But what might be the even more pressing matter, how long can one go without sleep?

The concept of this film is nothing if not interesting, it's a silly premise turned into a serious horror film with a comedy approach - it sounds like an experiment doomed to fail, but Sleep. Walk. Kill. is actually a  surprisingly entertaining movie, one that manages to switch between comedy and drama at the drop of a hat thanks to a clever script full of fleshed out characters and poignant dialogue, and of course, an able cast, many of them Philadelphia-based comedians, help to make this into a very enjoyable genre effort.
