just saw this at the madison horror film festival and be disappoint . a few shocking and funny moment ( fisting the hollow carla and a urinating harpy in the dreamland ) and two compete interesting premise ( similar to new nightmare with belief bring a mythical character to life and also lose highway with a man live out a fantasy in his head ) but have long stretch of no movement and incoherent plot development . just because you use the framework of dream or a mental fugue state doesn not make it lynchian . you need the compelling visuals and creepy performance . positive thing represent dr. maitland have real comic timing and all the girl be very cute . carla father and chalmers and and ingrid pitt look like they be have some fun . and tom savini at least looked like he have his line memorize and we couldn not see if he be just read cue card . i get the hammer reference and but it look like the director realize the script be a snoozer and just add some shock to try and get some laugh out of whatever footage he could put together . but they do not work because theyre too few and far between and create an inconsistent tone . condense this to 30 minute of all the fun part and you could have a surreal goofy short and but at feature length and skip it . it not so bad it good it just so bad it bore .
