Bad Dreams

About This Movie

Bad Dreams is a curious blend of psychological horror and surrealism. It’s got this unsettling atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that kind of adds to its dream-like quality. The practical effects, especially in the more intense sequences, hold up pretty well, giving a gritty texture that modern films often lack. Jennifer Rubin does a solid job in the lead role, capturing the essence of a woman grappling with trauma and reality. There’s a distinct vibe here that feels influenced by the late '80s horror wave, but it stands out for its darker themes and hazy visuals. Definitely a film that lingers in the mind.
