After hearing Chuck Russell (who produced this) talk about Dreamscape during a Q&A after a screening of Critters 2, I felt I needed to track this movie down and watch it.
Luckily it’s on Netflix Instant, so we settled the whole family in to watch.
Given that it was released in 1984, this is a pretty damn good movie, with great practical effects and makeup/costuming. I really enjoyed it a lot. My kids liked it too.
As a bonus, for me anyway, it had David Patrick Kelly, who most people know as the weaselly antagonist in Walter Hill’s excellent movie, The Warriors. He’s equally good here, though typecast in the same sort of role.
Also, Kate Capshaw was looking pretty fine back in ‘84. Just sayin…
