The premise

A suburban housewife learns that she has psychic connections to a serial killer, and can predict this person's motives through her dreams.

Horror Vault's take

A seemingly ordinary suburban woman finds herself tormented by vivid, disturbing dreams that blur the line between vision and reality — dreams that may be windows into the mind of a killer. Directed by Neil Jordan, the film plunges its protagonist into a psychological spiral as the visions grow more urgent and her grip on her own life begins to unravel. Annette Bening delivers an intense performance as a woman no one around her fully believes, racing against a darkness that exists both outside and within. Stylish and surreal, the film lingers in the uneasy space where nightmare and waking life refuse to separate.
