Product ReviewsIn Dreams (DVD, 1999)

Nice Thriller

This is a good suspense type movie. Lead role, played by Annette Bening, was nicely portrayed. I am a big fan of Paul Guilfoyle, one of the main reasons I bought it, and also I have an interest in what lies beneath the water of man made reservoirs. From psychic to psychosis, it was well played.Read full review...

DVD Movie

This darkly imaginative film from director Neil Jordan (THE CRYING GAME, INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE) follows Claire, a psychic New England housewife (Annette Bening) who loses her grip on reality when her dreams connect with those of a psychotic child murderer (Robert Downey Jr.). Centered around a ghost town submerged in the local reservoir and a creepy apple orchard, Claire's disturbing visions baffle the police and eventually lead to her confinement in an insane asylum. As the killer's fantasies continue to haunt her, Claire realizes she must succumb to her link with his twisted psyche if she is to escape from the hospital, track him down, and put an end to the madness. Jordan's direction captures his heroine's horrific nightmares and the autumnal New England locales brilliantly, while Bening attacks her role with ferocious gusto. The film's uniquely rich, color-saturated look comes courtesy of cinematographer Darius Khondji. Jordan wrote the screenplay with Bruce Robinson (WITHNAIL & I), adapted from the novel DOLL'S EYES by Bari Wood, and longtime Jordan collaborator Stephen Rea costars as Claire's doubtful psychiatrist.Read full review...

In Dreams (DVD, 1999)

Claire Cooper dreams strange things from time to time. One night, she dreams about a little girl being taken away by a stranger, right in her neighbourhood. When her own daughter Rebecca is kidnapped and murdered only a little later, Claire is sure about the chilling truth that her and the killer's mind are connected to each other in dreams. But nobody believes her being able to foresee the killer's next steps, as she could with her own daughter. In addition, the nervous breakdown she suffers gets her into a mental facility after a suicide attempt. And here, locked away in a padded cell, she dreams of her husband being murdered. This movie is a taut, edge-of-your-seat complex thriller. Sure, it may be a bit unrealistic, but as far as storytelling, directing and acting, it's a very good movie. Both Robert Downey Jr. and Annette Bening are outstanding. If you enjoy the work of either of these two actors, or if you enjoy complex, mind-bending thrillers, watch this.Read full review...
