Deadly Dreams Audience Reviews

Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
CMRKeyboadist I remember the first time ever noticing Deadly Dreams. I was working in a Video Warehouse years ago and noticed the cover. Something about it caught my eye. It wasn't until years later that I would come to sit down and actually watch this movie.Deadly Dreams plays off like an episode of Tales From the Crypt. It just runs 35 minutes too long. The storyline starts out with a family on Christmas Eve. Two parents and their son Alex wait for the oldest son to come to the house. When they receive a knock on the door, it isn't the oldest son but a man with a rifle who guns down the two parents. 10 years later Alex is 20 years old and often has horrible nightmares of the man who killed his parents murdering him. Alex and his brother both gained a hefty inheritance from the death of their Father and it looks like someone might be trying to get their hands on it.For a movie that runs 79 minutes it certainly is very slow. We don't get anything new out of the storyline as Tales From the Crypt did have a story very similar to this one in one of the old comic books. At least the acting was decent in this film and the last ten minutes are interesting. Other then that, I was falling asleep at times.This movie might be good for one viewing on a boring Sunday afternoon. Other than that, I would rather watch something else. 5/10
bujinbudoka This movie is as its title says....Dreams....ugggghhhh....The movie is so confusing at times you never know when the dreams are real or not. The movie generally revolves around a man who was in the house with his parents the night they were murdered by a hunter in (I'm guessing) a wolf's head mask.The movie moves along at all the velocity of a golf cart, with no real twists or turns. There is the underlying story of the main characters both in love with the same woman, who's playing both sides in order to get ahead (can you say gold-digger?) I'll give it a 3 out of 10, because it does have some nice nude scenes, with a very cool ending despite its slow story. However if you are looking for a great horror film, look away at another one instead.
brandonsites1981 Young man who lost almost his entire family in a hunting trip several years ago by a serial killer is haunted by visions of the killer and then eventually reality and dreams cross over as he begins to see the killer in real life even though his brother assures him that there is no way that the killer is after him. Brief film with a wicked twist of an ending and a few chilling scenes, features lack luster direction and performances. This film could have been so much more given the premise.Rated R; Nudity, Violence, Sexual Situations, and Profanity.
HumanoidOfFlesh Since no one has reviewed "Deadly Dreams",I will.The story goes like that:The Torme family takes a weekend picnic in a secluded forest.Little do they realize that they're marked for death by a deranged hunter.The murderer kills off each one,except for the son,Alex.Ten years after massacre,Alex finds himself haunted with the vision of a man in a hunter's clothing...His dreams begin to blend into reality.Each successive nightmare brings him closer and closer to the spectre-until Alex is convinced that the killer is real-and hunting Alex.His friends and remaining family offer him no support.Alex fears his sanity is slipping further away.Then murders begin to happen in the real world...OK,so the premise is quite interesting,but "Deadly Dreams" is completely unscary and deadly dull.The acting is very average,and the action moves incredibly slowly.To be fair,the scene of massacre is pretty nerve-wracking,and the killer wears creepy mask of the deer.Watch this one,only if you have time to waste.
