Checked out a film called Double Blind. There was was a small limited release theatrically apparently but nothing around us, so this was watched On Demand.

The premise of this one is that a group of strangers convene for a double blind study of a drug, of which they're at first led to believe is relatively harmless and used to treat things that aren't life-threatening. In actuality, the pharmaceutical company behind the test is seemingly running a sleep deprecation trial and testing a drug for that purpose. Their drug is not a success however, and though it initially can keep you from being tired at all, the effects won't last and if you fall asleep after that, you will die.

There's something to this movie I think. There are plenty of tense moments and the film does well when it gets to employ sleep-deprived induced hallucinations on the cast of characters. Not every one of them hits the same, but a few hit pretty hard. There are a couple of pretty disturbing moments and images I'll probably remember for a while from the movie. It's pretty good stuff, I'd recommend it.
