Dreamscape Research Paper

Decent Essays

Let me describe a movie to you and you see if you can guess what it is. A select type of people is able to use their psychic abilities to enter people's dreams and help them defeat whatever is causing them nightmares. The myth of whether you die in your sleep is, in fact, real and one crazy psychic dream walker likes to grow knives on his fingers and hunt you down in your dream. If you said A Nightmare on Elm Street, I would slap you as what I just said doesn't sound anything like that movie. What are you talking about? Okay, writer Chuck Russell did, in fact, write Dreamscape and happened to go on and write/direct A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, but that is all I'm willing to give you. Dreamscape is it's own movie and it's one that piles on some good times. We have horror, action and comedy and a damn fine Blu-ray from Scream Factory. What is not to love?

Oh, you wanted the R cut of the flick that featured a tiny bit more of nudity? Well, boo-who, you ain't getting it.

We also have fellow psychic dream walker/murderous psycho, XXX. You know XXX is creepy cause he puts someone else's saxophone in his mouth. Gross.

Dreamscape, unfortunately, has a habit at serving up a pretty disjointed plot at times. One side plot that involves Cheers star XXX, seems like a completely random story point that doesn't bring much to the movie. We already know some weird stuff is going down, we don't need a redshirt spelling the plot out to us.

I do rather enjoy Dreamscape, disjointed plot and all. It's got some trippy dream sequences, some with plenty of laughs. There are moments of unintentional hilarity with the cheesy effects, but for the most part, the film offers up some solid looking setpieces. The train sequence with the gnarled passengers was pretty damn
