I finished watching Dream Eater and ehhhhh...
If you haven't seen the Korean horror movie Sleep, skip Dream Eater and watch Sleep instead (it even has a quality dubbed version). The two movies have a really similar premise. A couple is dealing with the husband's sleepwalking which gets increasingly more threatening to the wife. It's a decent premise to make a found footage movie out of, since the wife uses the footage to show her husband his creepy behavior periodically throughout the movie.
There are also a couple of nice scares here. But they're fairly common in the found footage genre. The lights go out and a new voice sounds in the room, a person is filming and as they turn you see a threatening presence behind them. There are plenty of little jumpscare setups, though only two stood out as being any good. The performances are also passable, which sounds like a backhanded compliment but this is found footage, so that's actually a genuine compliment.
But there's a lot more bad than good here. The scares get redundant, and characters are way too conveniently dumb about the situation as it gets increasingly more dangerous. The narrative has good ideas but executes them poorly because of bad writing. There's a lot of straight ripping off better horror movies (like discussions with a professor over zoom aka the Sinister scenes). The guy seems like an a-hole even when he's not sleepwalking, and the girl is passive at the worst possible moments.
Worst of all, but the main reason I wanted to write an extended review, this movie breaks all the rules of Found Footage. The camera quality is insanely good, and even when characters put the camera down, the scenes are perfectly framed and captured. That's explained by the wife being a documentary filmmaker but it still takes away from the found footage vibes. Some of the footage is taken by cameras that the AirBnB owner must have set up, which allows for third-person POV but who would stay at an AirBnB that's surveilling you!? Worst of all, there are music drops...not like "the radio turned on," but rather, "she's running outside and they needed ominous music to try and make it more scary."
If you love found footage, this movie will annoy you. If you want to see the premise done to much better effect, in a horror movie that made my top-5 for the year it dropped...watch Sleep instead.
