Raised in a small town near Akron, Ohio, Parker Finn grew up as a huge fan of film but particularly when it came to horror movies. Often intrigued by the covers of VHS tapes at the video store, Finn admittedly watched films that he probably had no business seeing at a young age. 

Being traumatized by movies like Poltergeist and The Shining set Finn on a path where he was determined to eventually scare people with films of his own. That led him to make his critically acclaimed 2020 short film titled Laura Hasn’t Slept about a woman who seeks help from her therapist after she’s tormented by recurring nightmares. 

While Finn was never a fan of short films that dovetail into a larger feature, he couldn’t help but decide to pull at a thread that eventually led him to his first full-length movie. 

When a therapist witnesses a patient carry out a disturbing act of violence, she’s suddenly haunted by the same type of visions that could eventually spell her doom and she’s running out of time to stave off a gruesome death of her own…
