Unspeakable: Beyond the Wall of Sleep

Unspeakable: Beyond the Wall of Sleep Releases March 4

Breaking Glass Pictures has announced they’re handing the worldwide release of Unspeakable: Beyond the Wall of Sleep, the last chapter in a trilogy of horror films from director Chad Ferrin. Ferrin’s projects, including this one, have been direct adaptions of H.P. Lovecraft stories.

Ambrose London is a renowned oneirologist who handles the toughest cases. They don’t come tougher than this latest one…he’s been summoned to an asylum (the notes here say it’s Arkham Asylum, but that can’t be right…possible lawsuit in the making here) to check out a seemingly possessed patient. Of course in movies in this “seemingly” means “definitely,” but not in the manner one would think.

The assumption is that the spirit is that of a 122-year-old colonial peasant. London has a special instrument he calls the “Dream Machine” that can extract these spirits from their host bodies. But it turns out it’s not a ghost at all….it’s an alien life form bent on destroying the world, and he just let it out.

Unspeakable: Beyond the Wall of Sleep stars Terminator 2’s Edward Furlong as Ambrose, alongside Bai Ling as Dr. Fenton, Ginger Lynn as Sonia London, Robert Miano as Jim Fhelleps, Lew Temple as Francis Wayland Thurston, Steve Railsback as Dr. Willet and Cyril O’Reilly as Bill Jackson. Ferrin serves as producer of the picture alongside Robert Miano.

“Thrilled to have Unspeakable: Beyond the Wall of Sleep, the final film in my Lovecraft trilogy, in the hands of Breaking Glass Pictures,” Ferrin says. “Rich Wolff and his team did such an amazing job with my previous films that I know this boundary-pushing, gonzo film will get the passionate release it deserves from them.”

Look for Unspeakable: Beyond the Wall of Sleep on VOD platforms March 4.

I’m always down for a new Lovecraft adaptation, but I have mixed feelings about Chad Ferrin’s work. His takes are ambitious but don’t always hit the mark. That said, I like that he’s going all-in with another deep cut from Lovecraft’s works. Beyond the Wall of Sleep isn’t one of his more well-known stories, so seeing how it translates to film will be interesting. Also, Edward Furlong in a lead role? That’s unexpected. Hopefully, he brings some of that Terminator 2 intensity.

I haven’t seen the first two movies in this trilogy, but I might check this one out. The premise sounds cool—an alien mistaken for a ghost? That’s different from the usual horror tropes. I just hope it has a good balance of psychological horror and some freaky visuals.

I didn’t expect to see Edward Furlong and Steve Railsback in the same movie! That’s a blast from the past. I don’t know if this will be good, but I’ll watch it just to see these actors again. Hopefully, it’s at least entertaining in a B-movie kind of way.

If this gets a physical release, I’ll grab a copy just to complete the trilogy. Lovecraft adaptations, especially indie ones, tend to get small print runs, and some become collector’s items. Even if the movie isn’t amazing, it could be worth having.

Yet another low-budget Lovecraft adaptation that probably won’t do the source material justice. There’s always potential in these stories, but without the right budget or vision, they end up as half-baked psychological thrillers with some tentacle effects thrown in. Maybe I’ll watch it if I’m bored.

I respect directors like Chad Ferrin who keep making indie horror films despite all the challenges. Lovecraft is tough to adapt on a small budget, but sometimes the best horror comes from limitations. I’ll check it out just to support independent filmmakers.

I don’t need this to be good—I just need it to be fun. Give me some over-the-top acting, ridiculous effects, and weird cosmic horror nonsense, and I’m happy. Sometimes, horror movies are better when they don’t take themselves too seriously.
