Review of The Sender

The Sender (1982)
5/10
So what if it came out before Elm Street.

It is somewhat bland. Other than the emotive Harrold and a very young Ivanek, there is really nothing of interest here. Dreams are had. With special effects abound. But the sense of it all is wanting. Shirley Knight is wasted.

Most of the "professional" mental health team in the film are very slow on the uptake regarding the weirdness. The ending contradicts the majority of what the film establishes - which is already quite vague.

Watch it to see Harrold, Zeljko (with hair), oh and that one bad guy from Raiders of the Lost Ark. But he doesn't do much either.
