Storyline

Caleb is an ex-marine who's drifting through life, moving around, jumping from one pointless job to another, trying to find answers. He moves back to his childhood home to escape his nightmares and get his life back on track. He finds that everything's different. His high school sweetheart is now engaged. His parish priest, to whom he always turned for support, is struggling with his own crisis of faith. And instead of getting better, the nightmares start getting worse. Then they start coming TRUE.

Lousy

This movie is about a want-to-be writer that can't seem to write and starts suffering from nightmares that involve a red door. He decides to take a friend up on the offer to apartment sit while the friend is out of town. He works at temp agencies and we learn that at one time he was a marine, which really added nothing to the story as a whole. People that he once felt close to have moved on with their lives, and not in ways Caleb is happy with. Through his nightmares he sees things involving these friends and in reality they are affected. At first I thought this movie was a spin on Jacob's Ladder because it skipped from one scene to the next and it all had no tangible meaning. Ultimately, Caleb realizes why he's having the dreams and deals with it. It was a very slow and boring movie. The only good scenes were the ones in which Caleb cried. Otherwise, he seemed a bit deadpan. Not all facets of the story tie themselves together well. I wish someone had warned me not to bother watching this movie before I wasted my time watching it.
