The Sleep Curse is a 2017 Hong Kong horror film directed by Herman Yau.

Wong announced that The Sleep Curse would be his last performance in horror and thriller films, stating he no longer enjoyed making them.

[3] The Hollywood Reporter compared the film to director Herman Yau and Anthony Wong's previous collaborations The Untold Story and Ebola Syndrome, stating that "There may be no way for the film's director and star to regenerate the manic energy and social fury that made The Untold Story and The Ebola Syndrome [sic] such genre-benders more than two decades ago."

noting Wong strives for depth in the role, while Yau "struggles to rein in all the sprawling elements — the nondimensional characters, the visceral violence, Brother Hung's bombastic music — into a tight, coherent movie.
