A criminal group sedates and enters the dreams of targets to steal their secrets.

I’m sure it’s wonderful and nuanced for lots of people, but to me it’s just okay. I find it rather obvious and uninteresting.

A woman goes insane but doesn’t take her meds.

One of those head-up-its-ass movies that tries to be smart but only fucks with viewers with constant tense music and not writing.

Any useful description would be a spoiler; it’s that kind of movie.

It’s indie, experimental, and hits the mark like a wrecking ball. Riveting, stressful, and highly recommended.

A drug reveals an alien world.

It has undertones which could make it very disturbing, however it is half-tainted by and half-infused with comedy. With a unique universe and being extremely watchable, this is definitely memorable and enjoyable.

I’ve heard it described as Evil Dead II – (1987 movie) meets Naked Lunch – (1991 movie). I think it also has a bit of the spirit of They Live – (1988 movie). If you know and liked those films, you’ll like this one.

A must-watch.
