Completely baffled at the amount of scary and fairly essential story details that the filmmakers chose to remove, replacing them with an exceedingly boring storyline about the guards and scientists that you couldn't have paid me to care about. It's a fine art adapting one medium to another, much can be lost in translation but there are bountiful oppourtunities to create something new and exciting if you play your cards right, Soviet Sleep Experiment is a perfect learning experience for any young filmmaker on how badly you can fuck up an adaptation if you're not smart about it.
Great Chris Kattan performance though!
