Bring Me a Dream

I actually enjoyed this. The sound wasn't balanced throughout, but the rest of it was entertaining.

There are many nods to the 80s. There are also several self referential remarks.

I did not anticipate the final survivor.

It was a little difficult to build relationships with some if the characters, and the ones that did resonate with me for not survive.

This isn't big budget horror, but there is something for everyone regardless of the genre of horror you like except paranormal.

Interesting gore but not too much.

The acting was not bad at all.

Other than the occasional sound issue the production value was good.

The acting isn't so bad the story isn't even so bad. It's everything to do with the audio it's like they don't have that normal film voices. It's like someone talking on the phone. It also doesn't have the normal film music so it looks cheap and it is cheap but it they sorted these two issues out it would be better. Also the review that said these aren't college girls there's a few who do look like 27-30. It's watchable if there's not anything available.

Ooo yeah! Loved the spanking scene! Oh no we don't have a safe word! Well too BAD!!!!

What is it Bo? You Need Something???

Some burying your friend alive! That's always fun!!! Ooo and some skin!! Nice. At least there is that???

So apparently this is some torture porn movie about people confronted in their dreams by manifestations created by the Sandman. And then they basically kill themselves in their dreams. There's some decent bleeding, and skin, and language. I like that.

IT's like a low budget Freddy Kruger movie!!!

Okay the last 3 deaths were cheesey....and how is this cop still alive??? Oh there he goes, nevermind.

Okay this was pretty cheesey but had moments! More entertaining than quite a few others that have popped up on Amazon Prime lately. 4/10.

They may have made it seem like this is a good movie but it's NOT. They really think these woman look like they are in college really come one, they all look like they are 30+ come on and bad acting on top of it all. Just DO NOT waste ur time.

Now, I'm going to start this review taking one aspect in consideration the most: budget!

Because, such productions need to be evaluated by taking in consideration what little money was available, thus I am going to do just that. Bring Me a Dream was a tough watch most of the time, but I can see that some people knew what they were doing, just didn't have the things they needed at their disposal. The acting overall was amateur, the dialogue as generic and stereotypical as possible, weak deaths that went for far too long accompanied by annoying screams and crying and a game that had no real rules and was frustrating for the viewer as well, not just the characters.

As pluses, I think the effects were well done, the script is smarter and more complex than your usual, they actually tried character development, but it completely backfired, and the ending itself is a homage for this kind of horror, yet I choose not to ruin it for you guys. It ends how you pretty much think it will, just not as good.

So overall, Bring Me a Dream isn't something I would recommend, at all really, but for a project, for someone's start up career, I think it did ok. I don't know anymore, I've seen some amazing indie low budget flicks, so if I am to circle my analysis around the budget, it really got the most of it, but as execution, I saw how much more you can achieve if you put your mind to it.

Cheers!
