Bad
Dreams is a classic 80’s Horror Film by director and co-writer Andrew
Fleming and produced by Gale Anne Hurd. The film begins
with a cult known as Unity Fields, gathering with its psychopathic leader Franklin Harris (Richard
Lynch) dousing his members with gasoline and lighting his followers on
fire in a mass suicide. One survivor Cynthia
(Jennifer Rubin) survived and recently awakened from a thirteen
year coma with occasional reminders of the suicide. Dr. Alex Karmen (Bruce Abbot) is the resident
psychiatrist determined to help his patients but as people in her group therapy
begin to commit suicide in gruesome ways, Cynthia believes she is being stalked
by the ghost of the evil cult leader. But are these deaths suicides or murders
from an unseen entity of the sinister cult leader Franklin Harris? As it turns
out, her dreams become more vivid with each day confusing of what’s left of her reality into a horror as
Franklin has come back to claim his “Love child”. This
film is a great thriller with horror elements that remind one of the classic
Elm Street series. Now released as a double feature BluRay/DVD by Scream! Factory, Bad
Dreams comes packed with extras such as an original alternate
ending, a behind the scenes and a make-up effects featurette.
