"Nightmares", a brief summary of the film

Come True )2020) is a science fiction horror film directed by Anthony Scott Burns. The film explores themes of dreams, trauma, and the boundary between the unconscious and reality. The film follows a teenage girl, Sarah (Julia Sarah Stone), who suffers from insomnia and a turbulent home life.

At the beginning of the film, Sarah experiences vivid and often disturbing dreams that leave her increasingly exhausted. These dreams often include disturbing visions and symbolic images, such as a strange, faceless figure stalking her in a dark room. Unable to escape the night terrors, Sarah’s life becomes increasingly difficult, and she eventually comes across a study on sleep and dreams. Desperate to find a solution to her insomnia, Sarah decides to take part in the study, hoping to understand her disturbing dreams and find a way to regain her peace.

The study involves a team of scientists, including Dr. Meyer (Landon Liboron), who studies sleep, dreaming, and the subconscious. Sarah agrees to be hooked up to various machines that monitor her brain activity while she sleeps, and the researchers begin to delve deeper into her dreams. However, things soon take a strange turn. The more Sarah participates in the study, the more her dreams begin to intertwine with the experiments, resulting in surreal and often disturbing scenes.

A key aspect of the study involves using technology to observe and analyze people’s dreams. Participants wear headgear that tracks their brain waves as they sleep, and the researchers hope to uncover deeper layers of the unconscious mind. The film explores the concept that dreams, while deeply personal, are also a form of communication with the subconscious. In Sarah’s case, her dreams begin to reveal painful truths about her past, including deeply buried trauma she had buried.

As the experiments continue, Sarah finds herself drawn into a terrifying series of events. Her dreams become increasingly distorted and begin to infiltrate reality, blurring the lines between the two. This intrusion of her unconscious mind into her waking life threatens her sense of self. She begins to uncover dark secrets about the research itself and its true purposes, which may not be as benevolent as she once believed.

The film’s atmosphere is filled with anxiety and tension, heightened by the soundtrack from Electric Youth. The narrative unfolds slowly, building a sense of dread as Sarah learns more about her psyche, the nature of research, and the disturbing truth of what is happening to her. Themes of technology, trauma, and the dark corners of the mind are explored in a way that forces viewers to question what is real and what is imagined.
