Jennifer Rubin survives a free-love cult's mass suicide only to be stalked Freddy-Krueger style by Richard Lynch.
Sound like fun? Check out the trailer:
Gotta love 80's Trailer Guy's voice!
Anyway, this flick has a great premise that doesn't live up to its potential, largely because of a third-act twist right out of an M. Night Shyamalan movie. Spoiler alert: Richard Lynch isn't really after her. It's all a mad plot by Rubin's shrink. And some drugs. Lots of drugs.
I don't mind not getting what I expect. I do mind twists that come out of left field, with no clues along the way that you can look back on and go "ah ha!"
This twist, and a complete lack of scares, rates Bad Dreams in the Ugly. Moving on.
