    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The misleading title refers to a nightmare one of the child characters in the movie had and it's just a generic term he comes up with to call the imaginary monster from his dream that he fears. The movie uses his story as a very loose metaphor for its plot.
    • Goofs
      When Rachel is showing Jim around the laser lab she refers to RAN instead of RNA.

    Braindead fun
    Just fun to watch, no meaning or anything. Just plain "giant mutated monster" inside a hospital and some people panic and scream while others try to stop it. I thought the acting wasn't bad, and there were a couple of gory moments. The "blue monkey" which is a giant insect was an ok model. Very predictable.
