BAD DREAMS

In the mid-1970s the mem­bers of the love cult Unity Fields sought “the ulti­mate join­ing” by dous­ing them­selves with gaso­line and com­mit­ting mass sui­cide. A young girl blown clear of the fiery explo­sion was the only sur­vivor. Thirteen years later, Cynthia (Jennifer Rubin, Screamers) awak­ens from a coma inside a psy­chi­atric hos­pi­tal with only buried mem­o­ries of that hor­rific day — but now her fel­low patients are each being dri­ven to their own vio­lent sui­cides. Has the sect’s leader (Richard Lynch, Deathsport) returned to claim his final child? Bruce Abbott (Re-Animator) co-stars in the intense shocker Bad Dreams from direc­tor Andrew Fleming (The Craft) and pro­ducer Gale Anne Hurd (Punisher: War Zone, The Incredible Hulk).

VISITING HOURS

Academy Award®–winner Lee Grant (Best Supporting Actress in 1975 for Shampoo) stars as out­spo­ken TV jour­nal­ist Deborah Ballin, whose cru­sade against domes­tic vio­lence enrages a creepy loner (a truly dis­turb­ing per­for­mance by Michael Ironside, Scanners) in Visiting Hours. He bru­tally attacks the anchor­woman in her home, but Ballin sur­vives and is hos­pi­tal­ized. Her assailant is enraged; he is haunted by a hor­rific child­hood trauma … and now he has hid­den him­self inside the hos­pi­tal to fin­ish what he started. Can any­body — includ­ing her con­cerned boss (William Shatner), a fran­tic nurse (Linda Purl, Happy Days) or Deborah her­self — stop the psycho’s killing spree before it reaches sick new extremes?
