Sleep No More (2026) Movie Script

All cherished employees of The Evergreen,
how's your day so far?
Keep your spirits up!
For your future!
For a better tomorrow!
I have great news for you all.
Starting today,
you'll get a daily 15-minute break.
So, are you excited?
This break
is dedicated to group exercise,
helping us stay healthy,
bond as a team and get more work done.
THE EVERGREEN CO.
FROM SURABAYA TO CENGKARENG
The bottles are made of glass.
The green ones, right?
Yes, those really give you more energy.
Keep your eyes open.
But I heard they'll damage your kidneys.
No big deal. You have two kidneys, right?
Is the rumor about a 20% raise true,
Mrs. Ajeng?
I think so.
The envelope feels a bit thicker.
Now you can buy your shiny shoes.
For Rudi.
Mrs. Mimi.
Thank you.
Ma'am, you need to match the signature.
- Here, next to this.
- But this signature is correct.
You missed a dot.
THE EVERGREEN CO.
Putri!
You look so much like Agustina
from behind.
I got chills.
How are you?
It's been a long time
since your last visit.
Congratulations on graduating
top of the class.
Your mother was so happy.
That wasn't me, ma'am.
That was Ida, my little sister.
Your mother was a role model
in this factory.
She did a lot of overtime.
A good example to the other employees.
- She
- Ma'am
Why did my mother kill herself?
All cherished employees of The Evergreen,
how's your day so far?
I know how hard you've been working,
day and night.
You're doing it for a better tomorrow.
I have more great news for you.
For your hard work,
you'll be getting an overtime pay increase
of 20% of your salary.
In addition, the star point system
will continue to apply.
Wishing us all
health and happiness always!
When did you last contact your mother?
A few months ago.
Why?
Suicide is a shortcut
for those who no longer have a way out
of their problems.
Usually, a working person's
biggest problem is their work.
Mrs. Sri mentioned
that my mom worked a lot of overtime.
Why is that?
She did extra work
because she needed money
to pay her debts to the factory.
Debts?
She always said it was a family matter.
I assumed that meant you.
If she'd sent me all this money,
my problems would've gone away
a long time ago.
That weird kid must've spent it all.
So, what now?
Your mother hasn't paid off her debts,
so someone should.
I don't have that kind of money, ma'am.
There's a solution to every problem.
Hey, where are you?
Do you want me to do something
to your cat?
Cat? I don't have a cat.
Neighbor's cat, maybe?
Stop acting smart!
You want me to barbeque your cat, huh?
No! Leave Jeruk alone!
Jeruk, Jeruk!
You'd better not hurt him!
So pay up, you bitch!
Next month, okay?
Hey, bitch!
That's what you said last month.
Sir, I just got back.
My mother was just buried.
I won't run away.
Hello, sir?
A week, or I'll barbeque your cat!
THE EVERGREEN CO. EMPLOYEE DORMITORY 2
Ida! Son of a bitch!
What are you doing?
You're not the only one
who wants to know why Mom died.
We want to know too.
We?
Yes, later, okay?
Is Bona here too?
Hey, weirdo.
Did Mom dump that demon child on you?
Putri, I want to go back
to working for daily wages at the factory.
The money's not so bad with the overtime.
Maybe I can help us pay Mom's debts.
Right?
Are you sure?
Top of the class working at a factory?
What would Mom say if she were alive?
They're stale!
Putri!
It's Bona's ear!
PAY YOUR DEBT THIS WEEK!
Don't sweat it. His ear will grow back.
HEALTH INSURANCE CLAIM DOCUMENPutri, please sign it.
At least we can all get some money.
You know you need the money.
I'm sure Mom set this up
for the three of us.
Mother and daughter,
both are equally weird.
Bona told you
to claim the insurance, right?
He's not our brother, he's a demon child.
Mind your own business.
- Here are the documents, sir.
- Okay.
- Please deliver this and check.
- Yes, sir.
Please check this.
- Yeah?
- May I see the document?
Yes, please wait a moment.
Please try again.
- Sir, it failed.
- Okay, wait.
Please try again.
Thank you.
Here are your tools and uniform.
There you go. You can go straight up.
That way, please.
- Thank you, sir.
- Sure.
All cherished employees of The Evergreen,
how's your day so far?
Just a gentle reminder.
Nothing makes us feel more truly alive
than the spirit of struggle.
Imagine if life were only
about taking it easy.
As Muhammad Ali once said,
"Don't quit. Suffer now, and live
the rest of your life as a champion."
Congratulation to Mimi and Abbas
who earned five stars.
Each star represents hard work
and every drop of sweat.
Each star brings us more prosperity
- Keep your spirits up!
- Thanks, ma'am.
Hey
What are you doing here?
- Are you serious about working here?
- Yes, but I'm not starting today.
Thank you, guys.
You didn't have to.
I also just had my pay day.
Please just accept it.
We collected money,
sincerely, to help you.
Come on, Putri. Just accept it.
Back when my dad was sick,
I also received donations.
Just think it's for your mother, Putri.
Work hard.
Sweat till the last drop.
Loyalty is key.
The Evergreen never stops.
You must be tired.
But if you put on just a little makeup,
you'll look so pretty.
It gives you a fresh look.
Putri.
May we all
be blessed with good health
and lasting strength.
May we all
do our best to support
our beloved Evergreen factory.
No matter how small our contributions are,
they are a form of gratitude,
to Ms. Maryati who has taken care of us.
May we all participate in this struggle.
For a better future.

THE EVERGREEN CO. EMPLOYEE DORMITORY
What does this factory
have to do with our future?
What kind of future
should we be fighting for?
Stop nagging.
Whether it's for the future
or to pay off debts.
Fighting is good, you know.
After I pay the debts,
I want a vacation to Papua by boat!
Eat fish whenever I want.
Ida?
Ida?
I saw Mom being chased by a demon.
She didn't kill herself.
What the heck?
Come here.
You're such a weirdo.
WORK, WORK, WORK
Dude?
His name is Tohar, right?
He hasn't slept for four nights.
He refuses to go home.
Four nights?
Do you think he'll get possessed?
Maybe.
Usually, he talks to Ms. Maryati,
and then he's back to normal.
Lady boss?
Yeah, the boss.
If someone gets possessed,
they're taken to her room.
She just talks to them.
Casting spells, patting them.
Not sure, but usually, they recover.
Oh, no.
Oh, no, my foot, it's all your fault!
Wait, what?
I'm sure Bona will be fine.
But it's been a month
since I heard from him.
If Mom was still alive,
we'd be running around now,
looking for Bona all over the place.
Mom would be yanking our ears,
and they'd fall off too.
I will never forget
how he stabbed himself in the stomach
just to scare us.
Turned out it was a scam.
Ma'am.
Ma'am.
Just leave her be.
Her son is getting married.
You got this, right?
EMPLOYEE DIES AFTER EXCESSIVE OVERTIME
MIDDLE-AGED WORKER DIES
AFTER FALLING ASLEEP ON THE JOB
DUTCH GHOST POSSESSION
IN HISTORIC BUILDING
I just need to know the truth.
What happened to Mom
wasn't the first time.
The factory always made it seem like
a suicide or a workplace accident.
I'm sure there's something off
about this factory.
Our mom was the shady one.
All those years in Taiwan,
she claimed she was making money.
But then what?
She came home drowning in debt.
Then Bona showed up, calling him her son.
A son out of thin air? Who's the father?
Maybe Mom took a loan from the factory
to take care of Bona.
Just because I'm the eldest,
and she saw no way out of her debt,
killed herself, now it all falls on me.
Putri, Mom didn't kill herself.
She was killed.
Killed by a demon?
Ida, please. I've had enough.
Why don't you ever believe me?
If a demon is really killing people,
why hasn't everyone walked out?
Not everyone has a choice, Putri!
Just like us, just like Mom.
- Bona!
- Ida!
Were you here all along?
Sorry.
Looking for insurance documents.
Chased by debt collectors. I'm exhausted.
I need a signature for the insurance
to get the money.
Where have you been?
Is that a new ear growing?
Insurance.
Get money.
Pay off debts.
Exhausted. Debt collector.
My ear is torn.
Hand broken.
Almost.
Got into a fight.
Insurance.
To get the money.
You're talking gibberish,
you're really not smart.
- I'm not smart enough.
- Clearly!
Insurance gets us money.
Putri's signature. Come on, Putri!
Putri, my ear fell off.
Pay off debts, Putri!
Putri!
Settle debts! Help Ida.
Putri!
You don't get it, do you?
You're not like Ida and me.
You're lucky, if you lose a finger,
it just grows right back.
Putri, the insurance
is Mom's only inheritance.
Do you think, like Mom did,
that he's holy, like a prophet?
A false prophet.
Scammer.
Mom.
Found me.
Garbage bin.
Mom took care of me.
Paid for orphanage.
Mom.
Kind person.
Mom died.
I'm sad.
Putri, how much is an ear worth?
Why not the head too, while we're at it?

Bona
Let go!
Bona!
Dude! Hey!
Your molding!
You should rest if you're tired.
Move, I dare you.
Putri?
Putri, poor guy's limbs
are scattered everywhere.
A dog was even munching on it.
Come on, just sign it.
The skin looks good,
but the fingers seem disproportionate.
Who are you?
I'm Ida, Putri's sister.
Oh, it's you.
Your mom talked about you a lot.
Do you need money?
Help!
Help!
Help!
Help!
Get out! Get out!
Ida!

"The victim seemed sleep-deprived
right before the possession took hold."
The factory once suffered
a mass possession
after a worker cut off his leg,
triggering a chain reaction.
But they have no choice.
They still have to work, do overtime.
"Fact is, they're actually proud
to give their lives for that factory."
All cherished employees of The Evergreen,
how's your day so far?
Mrs. Sri, our dear friend
through thick and thin,
thank God she has recovered.
- May all of this
- Putri, look at Tohar.
He still hasn't slept. Crazy, right?
He keeps working overtime.
to always take care of ourselves
and each other.
Life should be balanced.
Work and rest.
Up and down.
Awake and asleep.
Love yourself
because that's how you love your work.
Your artificial eyeballs are great.
My eyeball, isn't it great too?
- Pretty, right?
- Help!
- Pretty, right?
- Help!
- Open the door!
- Pretty, right?
Help!
He
My eyeball is pretty too, right?
Tohar!
You can't be like this, Tohar.
You don't need an eyeball, understand?
Then, half asleep,
I vaguely saw a black, shadowy figure,
whispering
that my eyeballs were ugly.
Damn it!
I just gouged out my own eye.
What about you?
Itchy, damn it.
Those toes were itchy.
Just like you.
I saw the black figure.
It whispered that my feet stink terribly.
I got pissed off.
I stuck it into the cutting machine.
I regretted it,
but
- Thankfully I'm still able to work.
- Yeah.
Well, that's work.
There's no such thing as risk-free work.
Right?
I hope I can help all of you.
For the sake of the factory's operations
running smoothly,
your limbs, your eyes,
will return to normal.
Ma'am.
Mrs. Ajeng.
Wake up, please.
Let her be.
Maybe that's how she lets off steam.
Shush. No need to talk.
If you want to dance, just dance.
Mrs. Ajeng.
Mrs. Ajeng, go and rest.
Let's stop.
Tomorrow, you can dance again, okay?
But do it tomorrow.
Is that so?
Well, yes.
But when I get like that,
it's like I'm unconscious.
Is it like being possessed by
A demon?
I don't know for sure.
It's like there's someone else
moving my body.
The thing is, when humans are tired,
sometimes we lose control.
It's normal.
Rudi, do you want to go home together?
No.
I'm working overtime.
For a better tomorrow.
And more overtime pay.
And better looking shoes.
Something I've never had, ever.
Did you forget what happened
to Tohar and Mrs. Sri?
I'll be fine.
- How are you feeling?
- I feel so much better now.
Good morning,
my beloved brothers and sisters.
Morning, ma'am.
On this lovely morning,
I'd like to announce two important things.
First,
Mrs. Sri is back among us
because she has recovered
and is ready to rejoin us.
Thank you, Ms. Maryati.
Forgive my negligence.
Hopefully, I won't cause too much trouble
and hinder our collective goals.
Thank you and welcome back, Mrs. Sri.
I am also very pleased.
While I was gone,
Putri was able to keep the work going
for this factory.
Let's give our support to Putri.
- Thank you, Ms. Maryati.
- Let's eat, come on.
Putri.
Yes, Mrs. Sri?
Ma'am
How did you do it?
It's a bit different in color,
but it's okay, still smooth.
Thanks to Ms. Maryati.
She fixed it real good.
So, Mrs. Sri's ear
Is Bona's ear.
Ms. Maryati took Bona's ears.

Nothing bad would happen
if they weren't possessed.
They wouldn't be possessed
if they had just slept enough.
It's a demon, right, ma'am?
A demon?
They were very tired, hadn't slept enough.
The police came.
Checked the CCTV.
We even invited a paranormal.
There is no demon.
You could've stopped the overtime.
I did that.
I locked up the factory at 5:00 pm.
Do you know what happened?
They sat at the gate all night,
refusing to go home.
You know these people need money.
We all need cash.
Saying you don't is a lie.
And you prey on that!
You pay them overtime
so they keep working.
Just admit it. You keep a demon, right?
They don't have to work overtime.
They can just sleep at home.
If they get possessed and die,
how does it benefit me?
There is no demon here.
Go ahead, prove it if you can.
I'll prove it to you.
This belongs to my brother.
His name is Bona.

Rudi, wake up!
Rudi, wake up!
I was just kidding.
It's not funny, you jerk!
How can you still believe
lack of sleep leads to possession?
It depends on each person.
Everyone's mental state varies.
How can I not believe it?
You haven't slept for several nights.
Four nights.
Here.
Look at my star points.
Plenty, right?
FACTORY STAR PRODUCTIVITY
I'm fine.

Soni?
What are you doing?
Go wash your face.
You look tired and sleepy.
Soni, you're joking like Rudi, right?
Damn it!
Snap out of it, Soni.
Soni!
Help!
Help!
Soni! What are you doing?
I lent you their bodies for a moment.
But you can't have it forever. Understand?
But...
No buts!
Or do you want me to go?
To leave this world?
If I leave, you will vanish too.
Don't worry.
If you want,
I know whose body you can use.
Luckily Ms. Maryati came, just in time.
Proof
Proof of what?
Maryati and the demon know each other.
Ida?
Are you okay?
Ida.
Please don't.
You can't work overtime.
Let's go home.
Putri,
I just want to try to get possessed.
This is the only thing I haven't tried.
I want to see what Mom saw.
Ida
Come.
Are you stupid or what?
Do you want to gouge out your own eyes?
Want to fall into the furnace?
Want to kill yourself too?
Putri, Mom didn't kill herself.
What's this?

MARYATI, 8, VICTIM'S DAUGHTER,
SOLE WITNESS.
"The victim appeared to be sleep deprived
and then in a trance."
"A mother ended her life
in front of her young child."
"She hit her head on the table many times
until it broke."
Look at the little girl's name.
Below the photo.
"Maryati."
Sweetie
Come here.
Sweetie.
Sweetie?
What is this?
Sweetie, what's happening to me?
Get out!
Get out?
I choose your body.
Get out!
It hurts!
In the mysterious waters
of its native lakes,
the axolotl remains forever in a youthful,
larval state, an eternal tadpole.
But what truly sets
this remarkable creature apart
is its astonishing ability to regenerate.
From lost limbs and severed tails
to damaged organs,
even parts of its eyes and brain,
the axolotl can rebuild itself
with near-miraculous precision.
For centuries, scientists have studied
this unique amphibian,
hoping to unlock the secrets
of its regenerative powers.
Now, as research
All cherished employees of The Evergreen,
how's your day so far?
Fortune can't be sought,
tragedy is unavoidable.
Tonight, I have some bad news.
Our family member,
our friend in thick and thin,
got hurt in an accident.
She thinks she saw a shadowy figure.
Again, I'm telling you
to take care of yourself.
Get enough rest.
Get some sleep.
Let us not forget to prioritize our safety
and physical health.
As we know,
every part of our body, from head to toe,
is a blessing that we must care for
as best as we can.
Ida?
Bona?
Mom?
When are you coming home, Mom?
I felt like I saw nothing.
Blank.
It's as if everyone else has left,
and I'm the only one in this world.
A thought crossed my mind.
I just wanted to die.
You're not alone.
You have me and Bona.
Free.
I want to be free.
Let loose.
Free.
In the vast sky.
And dance, keep dancing
I want to be free.
New shoes?
Cool.
I know they're expensive shoes.
Good eye.
It's a reward for myself.
You're right.
After a long day's work,
we've got to treat ourselves.
What is it, Rudi?
Just reminded of my mom.
Dad hit her when she came home
with no money after driving a cab.
I saw
My mom come home, tired,
she went to sleep.
Dad was angry, brought a bucket of water
and just threw it at her.
Sorry, I didn't know about this.
It's fine.
You had to hear a story like that.
Yeah, just tell me, Rudi,
whatever you want to tell me.
Now Mom no longer drives a cab.
I asked her to quit. Just stay at home.
Now I have enough money.
Not bad, some of it is for my mom.
So
I'm happy now, working here.
Is that so?
Good to hear.
Wait a minute.
Ida.
Ida?
Ida, what are you doing?
Ida.
This food is delicious.
The food here is always delicious.
I really want to pack this food.
Take it home
for my daughter, Putri.
Ida
Ida, get it out!
Ida, get it out!
Aren't you using these toys anymore?
The doll is still good.
The shoes are still good.
Can I have them all?
Take them home.
For Putri.
- Take them home.
- Ida
For Putri.
- Ida
- Take them home!
For Putri!
Who are you?
Get out!
You, get out!
- Who are you? Leave Ida alone!
- For Putri!
For Putri!
Get out!
Get out!
Hold it.
I think you guys should go home.
No. We can
Can what?
We can look out for each other.
We won't die.
I've seen it.
You saw the demon?
Do you believe me now?
You guys can see the demon?
Maybe we can defeat the demon.
Kick the demon out.
We can make this factory safe.
No more incidents like your mom's,
Mrs. Sri
and the others.
What?
What more do you want?
Free.
Free
I want to be free.
Let loose.
In the vast sky.
And dance, keep dancing
I want to be free.
- Rudi!
- Rudi

If the legs are broken, I can understand.
But I've never heard of someone falling
and losing their legs.
Have you heard the recent viral news?
Jealousy drives people to mutilate.
Not just falling from the roof.
Nowadays, anything can happen.
Report, Chief.
I've checked the CCTV.
No one was in this yard.
Then the police arrived.
Bona is the same as us.
He also misses Mom.
I know that, Ida.
I was wrong.
I regret it.
I was only thinking about myself.
Forgive me, Ida.
Forgive me, Bona.
Mom is no longer around,
but we still have Bona.
We'll destroy the hair demon
in the factory.

Who here has ever been possessed?
Do you know who hasn't?
Ms. Maryati.
She's the only one
who has never been possessed.
Why are we the only ones possessed?
Maybe it's time for us
to make Ms. Maryati feel what we feel.
Who wants to help?
I do.
Me too.
- Me.

You crazy kids!
What are you trying to do?
We want to make you
not sleep for a few nights.
So you can feel what it's like.
Abbas!
Abbas!
Security!
Mr. Abbas, the security guard,
already knows.
Did you forget he lost his thumb
during a possession two years ago?
Everyone knows
you're tied to the demon here.
- Familiar with this?
- No.
- Just be honest, ma'am.
- No.
When you were a child,
this demon possessed your mother too.
She was possessed.
Smashed her head on a table
until it broke.
Right?
Nonsense!
You moved to a girls' dormitory during...
You're fired!
You brought that demon here.
Soon, you'll also feel what it's like
to get possessed by the demon.
You'll feel what it's like to go to jail.
Jail!
It's my turn to keep watch.
Make sure she doesn't fall asleep,
no matter what.
Copy that.
Why aren't there signs of possession yet?
Putri.
You should get some sleep too, Ida.
This is going to take a while.
It may take a few days
for Ms. Maryati to be sleep deprived.
Then we'll see her get possessed.
Putri.
What?
Did they find Rudi's legs?
Why do you ask?
Hey!
Don't sleep.
That's what you get for keeping a demon.
Be patient, ma'am.
The demon will come soon.
Help!
Demon!
Help!
Putri.
Ida!
- Pull her! Help her!
- Help her!
Ma'am.
Help, ma'am!
You have to stop this!

at this hour?
Go to bed!
Move aside!
- Open, sir!
- Quick, sir!
- Come on, sir!
- Quick!
Pull!
Pull!
Stop!
Stop, don't take Bona!
I'm the only friend Bona's got.
Bona is my brother!
Without Maryati, you're nothing!
You exist because of her!
You killed her mother.
You should apologize!
No
