A high quality B movie
Added 1/4/2008
This movie is an example of how a superb screenplay, terrific acting and smart dialogue are enough to make a great movie. This is what would tipically be referred to as a "B movie", yet you won't care about production costs here. The movie is basically three funny morality tales with serious undertones, and still, they will elicit hilarious laughs. To exemplify its power: James Karen has a non-speaking role, yet he impersonates such an extraordinary character that left me astonished and kept me thinking about just all the faces he made in his scenes for long afterwards. This movie borders on the artistic because of the talent of all the staff put into it, so it's definitely great entertainment. You don't see much like this, for sure.

entertaining, to say the least!!!!

Sure, there are no academy awards to be handed out, and the film quality leaves a little to be desired, but this movie has a strong concept, and was delivered pretty well with what they had available. The behind the scenes making of really made tied this film together, and gave it a special feel. It looked really like it was just a fun film for Bill Paxton and the rest of the crew to make, irreguardless of box office sales, and you can tell it by the way the actors appear in this film. It is a B level film, and it shows, but with a few tweaks, this could have been a big box office smash. Worth checking out. I bought a copy for 3 bucks, well worth it, cheaper than renting!!!!!

Lots of Fun!

Okay, so I'm biased. I worked on the film and we all had a lot of FUN. Even when our location burnt to a crisp in the Malibu fires, we had fun. Lots of amazing stuff on the DVD bonus feature that is likely to appeal to most viewers. Hey, this item has sold over 100,000 DVD's, so somebody other than me must be liking it!! Check it out!

only for die-hard Paxton fans

Are you the type of Bill Paxton fan (like myself) who admires the actor so much that you are driven to see movies like "Thunderbirds" and "Spy Kids 2" simply because he is in them? If so, then you will definitely want to check out this amateurish anthology flick, which features Paxton as a nutjob who preys on weak college students to find a place to live. It's not exactly Paxton at his finest, but then, he's got fairly terrible material to work with, so you can't fault him too much.
The premise is that customers at a Virtual Reality psychology clinic have nightmares while they are undergoing whatever procedure they are undergoing. Possibly this is based on a comic book, as someone is holding a comic named "Future Shock" during a short behind-the-scenes in the special features. Does it matter? No. This is a bad movie no matter where its sources lie.
Paxton fanatics, check it out. Everyone else, donate the money you were going to spend to charity.
