Movie Info

A suicidal patient is placed in a mental hospital for observation. A psychiatrist realizes that the fellow contains telepathic powers with which he's capable of transferring his own fear-filled nightmares into the minds of others. When he directs his ephemeral madness into the minds of the doctors and patients around him, the hospital turns into a nightmarish melee. ~ Rovi

Film Crazy

Super Reviewer

Stephen King-esque thriller about a suicidal man whose dreams are transformed into reality. Slow moving but nicely shot and featuring the film debut of Zelijko Ivanek (who was great on 24 as Andre Drazen).
