Review of Bad Dreams

Bad Dreams (1988)
4/10
It's a Bore!!!
10 February 2004
Well that is not fair. It was not totally boring, but it was not exactly all that scary or even interesting. The trailers for this one were clearly trying to capitalize on the success of the "Nightmare on Elm Street" franchise. The promos for this one basically said if you found Freddy scary, wait till you see Harris...or something to that effect. In reality it has very little in common with Elm Street other than a few dreams here and there. The movie is set in I believe a mental ward and it turns into more of a mystery rather than a horror. The only one who sees the dreaded Harris is the one survivor of his strange cult. Basically, those in the mental ward are being offed and she sees him and thinks he has come back. A twist at the end, but all in all a rather dull film with a few moments of interest here and there.
