Summary: The best thriller I have EVER seen!
Review: First of all, let me tell you I am a big movie fan.I have just recently started collecting DVD's and I already have 157 titles. I live for this stuff and want to direct for a living. In Dreams is my second favorite title out of them all. I enjoyed this movie so much. It is about a woman by the name of Claire Cooper (Annette Bening)who is able to see in her dreams a serial killer's ( Robert Downey Jr.)next moves. At first no one believes her and even think she is crazy, until her dreams start becomming frightening accurate. After her daughter is kidnapped by Vivian (Downey JR.)She feels she will go crazy if she does not do something about it. So she decides to track him down. With many suspensful moments and the best ending in a movie for ages, this movie is the BEST THRILLER OF ALL TIME. Please buy this movie, you will get your moneys worth. Once again the ending is the best I have seen in years. With outstanding performances by Annette Bening, Robert Downey JR., Stephen Rea and Aidan Quinn. Warning: This movie is very disturbing but the end lets you feel justice. I don't want to give anything away but please, please buy this very clever and thrilling movie,IN DREAMS.A real winner 5 stars.

Summary: I think this might be one of those 'underrated' type films
Review: I would give it 4 and a half. It has a weird plot, weird acting and directing, amazing cinematography and a really twisted atmosphere. It loses it about an hour in, but it has the most twisted kiss-off ending I've seen for a long time. It's a bit of a shame that Jordan followed this with the conventional End of the Affair.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another winner...
Review: This is another one of my favorite movies...Annette Bening delivers an incredible performance as Claire...a women whose mind, life, and soul are taken over by a killer...I was mesmerized from the first minute...Robert Downey Jr. and Aidan Quinn are also brilliant...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Exciting, thrilling and intense
Review: The person that called this movie boring and predictable must have seen the same movie that TV Guide did. The TV Guide rating system gave this movie a rating of 2 stars. I adamantly disagree with any rating less than 3. I couldn't keep my eyes off this film. It was well acted and full of suspense. You're missing 1 hour and 45 minutes worth of pure entertainment if you skip this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Creepiest I've seen in a while
Review: Movies like this are far scarier than any teen slasher movie, like the "Scream" trilogy (which sucked donkey balls). Like "Sixth Sense", you sympathize with the characters and feel their pain. It's slow-paced, making surprises more surprising, and building suspense with each minute. After all, what's scarier than a nightmare coming to life, your loved ones being slaughtered, one by one, making you insane? And worst of all, no one will help, because no one believes you.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Dull, boring and predictable
Review: Unbelievably this is directed by the same person who made the Crying Game. Anyone expecting the same interesting quality can forget it. This should have gone straight to TV. It is too long, has terrible pace and character arc and ends up being rather embarrising for all concerned.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Twists the division of reality and insanity!
Review: If you love "fringe" movies, those ultra-cool motion pictures that take you farthter from the normal, the routine, and leave you thinking about reality or morals, or ethics, differently than before you saw the flick, you'll probably enjoy "In Dreams".

This is probably the best character I have ever seen Annette Benning fill. The story line is, while unpredictable and not very "realistic" (for most skeptics of the paranormal), new, original, amd exciting. All of the characters were so odd (especially the disturbed young boy who almost drowned to death, Vivian... who grows up to be a murderer). This movie deals with a lot of serious topics, but only touches on them briefly. I think the director was, in part, saying that insanity can result from some of the things he touched upon in the movie, although the plot isn't meant to carry a message, but tell a story. The hidden connection between child abuse and insanity should be clear to anyone who ponders the hidden meaning of movies.

The story itself is about a middle-aged woman who begins to have frightening dreams about children being led to an apple orchard, and killed. These dreams begin to appear as altered views of reality, when the woman's own young daughter is abducted from a school play one night, and murdered. From this point on, she seems to develop a haunting connection to the murderer, albeit everyone believes that, at first, it is just the stress of her murdered daughter propelling these "delusions". After awhile, all of the people in her life begin to question her sanity, and she is locked up in a mental institution. However, the dreams continue...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It was so awesome and chilling...
Review: The actors who starred in it were all wonderful, and the forest scenes near the water were so hauntingly surreal. I have to say that Vivian was my favorite charicter, even though he was the 'bad' guy, the charicter was written so well. I have to buy it when the price dropps.
