Nightmare
THREE SHOCKING MURDERS...did she DREAM them? ...or DO them?
Directed by Freddie Francis
Produced by Hammer Film Productions
A psychological thriller that blurs the line between nightmare and reality, using a young woman's fractured mental state and family trauma to generate sustained paranoia and dread.
A young woman is plagued by nightmares of her asylum-patient mother. Upon returning to her family home, the nightmares become real when she sees a strange woman pacing the halls.
