Reviews:
“Clocking in at just a hair over 85 minutes, the film has a balance of storytelling, ethereal aspects, elemental merging of film genres and styles. Katrina Grey has established a strong story, and along with great acting, Daytime Nightmare will be enjoyed by thriller, drama, horror and even action fans worldwide, yes it is ‘that good’!” Dan’s Movie Report
“Backed by a icy debut score from Grey’s husband Randy Kalsi, Grey displays a sharp-eye for chilling set-pieces that slowly sink Lucy into the horror,via long stylish panning shots separating Lucy from crowds into a nightmare of murder. Writing the screenplay as part of her recovery from the real trauma, Katrina Grey (who also gives a wonderfully expressive performance as Lucy) brings out a fantastic psychological depth to Lucy’s nightmares.” 8 out of 10, Morrison Dylan Fan
“Katrina Grey stars in, writes and directs this psychological horror film about an aspiring actress who starts to realise that her nightmares are seeping into her reality. The beautiful Thailand locations provide a picturesque backdrop to this ambitious independent production. Great soundtrack too.” 6 out of 10, Rossboyask
“Superb and convincing acting which is a testament to the first-time director/writer and lead actress Katrina Grey. The connection between Lucy and Chris, Lucy and Sara, Lucy and the rest of her classmates…all are very authentic and legitimate which eases us into her unraveling world of daytime nightmares and how to remain sane.” Upcoming Horror Movies
