French film In Their Sleep (or Dans ton sommeil) goes a long way toward putting a fresh face on the tired old home invasion subgenre, and today we have a handful of new stills from it to share. Prepare to be taken down the road of terror by co-directors (and siblings) Caroline du Potet and Eric du Potet.

In Their Sleep (review here), starring Anne Parillaud, began an On Demand run from IFC Midnight on December 3rd and is available via Comcast, Cox, Cablevision, Time Warner, and Bright House. Late night theatrical engagements will follow nationally, beginning with the following:

– 12/30/10 at the Grandview in Columbus, OH
– 2/5/10 at the Cedar Lee Cinemas in Cleveland, OH

Synopsis
After the brutal death of her 18-year-old son, Sarah’s life is in pieces. Late one night her car accidentally hits Arthur, a young man the same age as her boy, who suddenly emerges out of the forest and onto the road. Wounded and frightened, he is running from a mysterious assailant, hunting him down after Arthur caught him red-handed in the act of burglary…

Sarah sympathizes with him, taking him in, only to be tracked down by the burglar whose murderous rage towards Arthur forces her to take action. Unbeknownst to Sarah, things aren’t quite the way they seem…but by the time she finally realizes, it is too late to turn back.
