Exclusive: Allen Wolf and Philip Winchester Interview

In the film In My Sleep, Marcus (Winchester), a disoriented, alone and barely dressed, man wakes up in the middle of a cemetery and he has no idea how he got there. But this is not the first time this has happened. In fact, lately when he wakes up, Marcus has to ask himself the same startling questions: Where was I last night? Who was I with and how did I get here? Marcus suffers from a rare form of sleep disorder that causes him to do things in his sleep, which he can't remember the next day. Complicating matters, Marcus is disillusioned with his life and seeks solace in alcohol and women. Hoping to deal with his use of one-night-stands to escape his problems, Marcus joins a Sexaholics Anonymous support group, where SA sponsor Derek (Michael Badalucco) helps him work through his problems. One morning he wakes up next to Ann (Kelly Overton) who happens to be married to Marcus' best friend, Justin (Tim Draxl). This eats away at Marcus, but he doesn't know what to do. Justin and Ann throw Marcus a surprise birthday party. Marcus unwraps presents and receives a large knife that, judging from the handwriting on the tag, he appears to have sent to himself. The tag reads, "Use wisely. - Marcus." The next morning, Marcus wakes up covered in blood, the knife by his side, the police ringing his doorbell. He rushes to hide the evidence from the cops, all the while frantically searching for answers. His neighbor Becky (Lacey Chabert) might hold a clue when she mentions that she heard him leaving the apartment the night before. Then comes the news that Ann has been found dead, stabbed to death. Marcus is scared to put together the pieces, as he questions himself, "Could I have murdered Ann ... In My Sleep?" Struggling to deal with Ann's death, Marcus processes his grief in his SA group, where he meets Gwen (Abigail Spencer), whom he covertly uses to help his investigation into whether he killed Ann. As conflicting evidence surfaces, Marcus wrestles with his past while he races to discover the truth, hopefully before anyone else ends up dead.

In My Sleep was released April 23rd, 2010 and stars Philip Winchester, Tim Draxl, Lacey Chabert, Abigail Spencer, Beth Grant, Kelly Overton, Michael Badalucco, Tony Hale. The film is directed by Allen Wolf.

This sounds like a swedish movie I watched that had the same concept. :| With variations, but the permise (comitting a crime while sleepwalking) is the same. The movie is called Sleepwalker (duh) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0228871/
