the least horror wes craven movie i've watched, but unsettling and nicely crafted. layers upon layers of nightmare images around the same themes. it was so dream-like that i expected it to be revealed as a trip in the end. the fact that it was not would make for an interesting, probably less satisfying rewatch. read more

pretty good movie that could have objectively benefitted from some structure. subjectively speaking there's a couple of usual pitfalls that i don't like with craven, most of all the fact that it's humorless and even pedantic at times. i like it when the guy goes nuts, i do not when he tries to be a legit filmmaker. also bill pullman literally nails some guy in the dick so that's worth somethin' i guess. read more
