Unity Field, a "free love" cult from the '70s, is mostly remembered for its notorious mass suicide led by Harris, its charismatic leader. While all members are supposed to burn in a fire together, young Cynthia is spared by chance. Years later, the nightmare of Unity Field remains buried in her mind. But when those around Cynthia start killing themselves, and she begins having visions of Harris, she may be forced to confront the past -- before it confronts her.

Shrug from the cop at the end sums this movie up.

>*"You don't like the way I drive, Dr. Addictive Buttface? Stay out of the parking lot!"* Freddy Kruger's underrated not so successful cousin. ***Bad Dreams*** is clearly influenced by *A Nightmare on Elm Street*, especially *Dream Warriors* (which is my favorite of the franchise) and one might even say it's too similar but this was so much fun that I don't care. The psychiatric ward setting is always a hit and the mystery and twist in the third act made it interesting. The kills are very bloody with nice practical effects and the makeup for the villain was a nice touch. The fire sequence in the first half was amazing, the blood coming down from the ceilings, the parking lot scene... such a fun time! I like the final twist, it's nutty but so fitting with this nutty movie.

It started out surprisingly good, but took a hard turn for the retarded by the end. That shot of the cop shrugging his shoulders and walking away sums up my feelings of the third act. The Guns n Roses over the end credits made me chuckle a bit.

"These damn doctors are crazier than the patients!" Some very solid practical effects and effective kills. The story is a little thin, but it's worth at least a once through. ... that shrug though bahahaha, why. Why. And credits with Guns and Roses. Oh man the whole last 5mins of this movie is completely out of left field
