"He didn't want to kill them. He wanted to leave them trapped in their own bodies."
Prepare for agonizing suspense as Thorne: Sleepyhead, based on Mark Billingham's bestselling novel, comes to life on screen. The film introduces Detective Inspector Tom Thorne (David Morrissey), a man who knows London's darkest corners better than anyone else.
Thorne faces a serial killer whose method is exceptionally cruel: three victims are already dead, but a fourth has survived – in a way worse than death. The victim suffers from "locked-in" syndrome; she is fully aware of her surroundings but unable to move anything but her eyes. Thorne soon realizes that this is not a failed murder, but the perpetrator's goal.
