5 For: In Dreams (1999)
Manage episode 515826721 series 3566979
The Machine pulls Truman and Landen back into the dream realm with five films that share In Dreams’ fascination with psychic visions, prophetic nightmares, and reality slipping sideways. From Stephen King to cryptids, remakes to cults, this is a guided tour through cinema’s strangest dreamscapes.
WHAT YOU’LL HEAR
The nightmare that connects Neil Jordan’s In Dreams to the Nightmare on Elm Street remake (and why both missed the mark).
The moral weight of prophecy in The Dead Zone — and why Cronenberg’s restraint works where In Dreams loses control.
Landen’s irrational fear of the Mothman Prophecies and Truman’s attempt to de-power “Doctor Mothman, MD.”
The overlooked international horror gem The Eye and its ghostly vision of second sight.
Bad Dreams (1988): a cult-haunting slasher with big potential, messy execution, and half its title in common with In Dreams.
