Dreamscape (1984)

 

Listening to David Arquette's episode of The Movies That Made Me at Trailers From Hell and he got all confused about this movie. And David Patrick Kelly. I have this DVD in the cardboard snap case. Dennis Quaid. Christopher Plummer. Max Van Sydow. George Wendt. They all did agree that it was good. Recommended.

Savant's review here mentions all the other movies Arquette had this confused with: The Dead Zone and Brainstorm. He didn't much like Dreamscape.

Weird Fiction

 “The true weird tale has something more than secret murder, bloody bones, or a sheeted form clanking chains according to rule. A certain atmosphere of breathless and unexplainable dread of outer, unknown forces must be present; and there must be a hint, expressed with a seriousness and portentousness becoming its subject, of that most terrible conception of the human brain—a malign and particular suspension or defeat of those fixed laws of Nature which are our only safeguard against the assaults of chaos and the daemons of unplumbed space.” - H.P. Lovecraft
