Audience Reviews for Come True

  • Mar 14, 2021
    Terrors of the subconscious that manifest itself in real life is a horror trope that has not been fully explored. Yes there was a boom in the 80's with the Nightmare on Elm Street series, Brainstorm (1983) and Dreamscape (1984), but there have been few films in this genre since. Come True by Anthony Scott Burns is a refreshing take on the "nightmare" genre with legitimately creepy, Lynchan dream sequences that reminds one of Silent Hill (or if you've played them, the Limbo and Inside games). or a fictional version of the 2015 documentary The Nightmare. Julia Sarah Stone does a great job playing Sarah, the sleep-deprived lead, which is a good thing because the rest of the cast pretty much sucked (they basically stare at their monitors and freak out). But the ending with the unintelligible twist or whatever that was is so mind-numbingly stupid it almost ruined everything before it. EDIT: Bumping this up a 1/2 start after reading an interview with the director. That ending was intentional and was supposed to be polarizing. "RESPECT!"
