Add to a movie listThe Insomniac is a 2013 American whodunit psychological thriller written by Eddy Salazar and Peter Kenneth Jones, and directed by Monty Miranda. The feature film stars Salazar in the title role, Clare Grant, Keith Szarabajka, John Heard, and Danny Trejo. The Insomniac centers around John Figg (Salazar), a financial adviser who develops a severe case of self-induced insomnia after the house he recently inherited from his deceased father gets brutally ransacked and robbed. While the movie's most noticeable source of inspiration came from Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, there are a number of references to other past insomnia-themed movies, such as The Machinist, and Insomnia. A strong recurring theme throughout the film is the attachment one gets for material possessions.
Synopsis
After the sudden loss of his father, John Figg (Salazar) moves back into his childhood home in Glendale, California. There, he begins his life anew with his trusty dog Timber, his soon-to-be fiance Martha (Grant), and his new job promotion from his quirky boss Paul Epstein (Heard).Actors

Incensed by the tabloid culture which celebrates it, the L.A. Slasher publicly abducts a series of reality TV stars, while the media and general public in turn begin to question if society is better off without them. A biting, social satire about reality TV and the glorification of people who are famous for simply being famous, "L.A. Slasher" explores why it has become acceptable and even admirable for people to become influential and wealthy based on no merit or talent - purely through notoriety achieved through shameful behavior.
