Bad Dreams

Description

For the past month or so, I've been watching cheesy 80's horror films like crazy, most of them disappointing me in a way. They were either too corny, too dated, or dealt in subject matter that really didn't interest me. But then came along BAD DREAMS, a refreshing change of pace. The first 80's horror film that I genuinely enjoyed, unlike the others I've seen in the past which I just liked out of irony and ridicule.

In the mid-'70s, a cult group called Unity Field commits mass suicide, but a young girl named Cynthia survives the ordeal. After being in a coma for 13 years, Cynthia wakes up in a psyche ward, not remembering the incident. A young psychiatrist tries to help her remember, but she begins seeing the leader of the cult Harris (Richard Lynch, who looks like Hannibal Lecter), who wants Cynthia to join him, or he'll start killing off her hospital buddies one by one. Can Cynthia find a way to stop this scarred madman....or is there more to this dilemma that the hospital knows about?

You can definitely tell that the film is somewhat of a ripoff of NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3: DREAM WARRIORS....hell, they got Jennifer Rubin from that movie to play the lead here. But despite that, the movie is still lots of fun. It's not as bloody as other horror films I've seen, but you still see a lot of the red stuff thrown around. It also has a rather interesting twist, likable characters, and the film ends with "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N Roses. What's not to like? :)

Highly recommended! Here's the trailer ===> www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB-tvX…
