BAD DREAMS (1988)
One of the better horror films to come out of the late 80's era, this original plot-line begins with the emergence of a sinister 1970's cult called "Unity Fields" which commits mass suicide by setting themselves on fire within their compound. Their psychopathic (and psychic) leader Harris (played by Richard Lynch) demands that his followers kill themselves to prove that he is their dark messiah. Only one woman survives the brutal inferno and lives to tell the tale (Jennifer Rubin), haunted by nightmares and committed to a mental institution in order to help her deal with the traumatic experiences. Now, 13 years later, as people begin dying all around her, she realizes that the evil cult leader, Harris, is back from the dead to claim his "love child". BAD DREAMS is a suspenseful and well crafted film, sure to give its fair share of goose bumps and, well, bad dreams. While I rarely say this, after 20 years, a remake might be in order as the storyline of the film is perhaps more socially viable today than it was in 1988. A recommendable piece of horror cinema, the complete trailer can be viewed HERE.
