No sweet dreams.

I'm kind of caught here. I somewhat liked it, but came away rather under-whelmed because it was all too familiar and there was something more interesting within this strange horror/thriller premise than what was chalked up. Even with some creative cracks,... Full review

It's a decent horror flick, better then some that came out of the 80's but not as good as others. The concept is some what like A Nightmare On Elm Street and it's star Jennifer Rubin was even in part 3... Full review

This "Nightmare On Elm Street" meets the Manson Family started off really good, but quickly loses itself fast with holes in the story, and unbelieveable romance between doctor and his patient, and the ending comes to no surprise for the audience.... Full review

not bad 80's horror flick

TheatreX - imdb.com
A young girl is part of a cult in some time period where they play the Chambers Brothers and Electric Prunes, and that would mean the 60's, right? I think so. The cult is run by a Jim Jones wannabe named... Full review
Originality isn't really Bad Dreams' biggest trump but it sure is an ideal film in case you're looking for a few scares and/or chilling entertainment. The plot involves a spiritual sect with a textbook leader type that performed a mass suicide... Full review

This is one of the few masterpieces, when it comes to horror movies, of course does the movie borrow elements from, Nightmare on Elm street 3, but this one is far better, music, photography, acting and effects are class A. This... Full review

Fleming's surprisingly fluid direction and a handful of familiar faces keep Bad Dreams just watchable enough throughout its (numerous) dry spots.....By today's hard-R-horror standards, Bad Dreams isn't all that upsetting..... ... Full Review

Chicago Sun-Times
It is not surprising to see a violent teenage film exploiting the lowest common denominator and preaching a message of nihilism and despair. Like the doctor in the film, whose care makes people sick or dead, the makers of this film are supplying "entertainment" that celebrates doom. ... Full Review
