Don't know why, but I LOVE this movie! I guess the idea of being able to go into people's dreams sounds like fun.
Fun, imaginative fantasy/horror/mystery/political thriller film with good performances (check out Sydow, David Patrick Kelly and Christopher Plummer!) This was one of my favorites growing up.
freaky concept, however, after seeing this movie, I started trying to control the content of nightmares and turn them in my favor, it worked. Thus ending years of troubling aweful nightmares! the mind is an amazing tool!
Cheesy and the special effects laughable compared to todays standard. But, it was watchable, and might be half way decent if remade.
The effects will definitely change the way you view this movie. As a concept, I find it intriguing. But it's quite easy to get hung up focusing on the early '80s effects. As always, I greatly enjoyed Dennis Quaid.
