Watched this again for the first time in quite awhile. Has it been 14 years already? Brain researcher injured in accident begins to hallucinate, big-time. Plays like a low-rent JACOB'S LADDER or an extended TWILIGHT ZONE episode. Good early outing for Pullman and Paxton (you can spot which is the villain by the slicked-back hair, a trait of many 80s and 90s thrillers). Bud Cort in multiple roles stands out as usual. The gal playing Pullman's wife, Patricia Charbonneau, is pretty damned sexy even by today's standards.
