Dream Demon (1988)

US Arrow Video Blu-ray edition - region ALL with Poster and Booklet



 


A horror about Dreams, lowbudget B but pretty ambitious even though it was just OK.
Not very good but somewhat interesting.
It resembled the old but great 1984 Dennis Quaid horror "Dreamscape" if mixed with
films like "Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Hellraiser", and an alternate title could've
been "Diana's Dreamhouse of Ectoplasm".

Diana (Jemma Redgrave) is about to marry Oliver (Mark Greenstreet) and the church
is packed with High Society guests. Oliver is a decorated War Hero and celebrity
but when the priest asks her to say yes she says NO and punches Oliver's head off
in a blood geyser. Ha, ha, that was a cool start to the film but that's the coolest
scene really.

Above: Booklet

Yes, it was a bad dream only, but Diana is worried about her nasty dreams lately
and clearly they have to do with her upcoming wedding. But they may also have
something to do with the new house they moved into two weeks ago ?
If that wasn't bad enough, a creepy duo from the UK Gutter press starts harassing
her .... and even breaks into her house.
An american girl, Jenny Hoffman (Kathleen Wilhoite) turns up and says she lived
there when a child. Diana and Jenny becomes friends and Jenny stays with Diana
when Oliver is away, but soon Jenny is drawned into Diana's scary dreams.

The film is presented in widescreen 1.85::1 and with English audio 2.0 stereo with
English subtitles, region all.
