thinks he is going insane. Or worse. When his nightmares begin spilling into his

Adrian (Flashdance, Fatal Attraction) Lynne
surprises with this excellent film about . . .
But I wouldn't
want to spoil it. The film has a surprise ending that will keep
audiences talking afterwards. Well-written, a visual sense that
borrows from both Francis Bacon, Kafka and Angel Heart, the film's
biggest asset however is Tim Robbins who gives one of his best performances
ever.
If you're squeamish, stay away.
But you risk missing a great film.
