Worth your time. (spoilers)

Warning: Spoilers
PITCH BLACK meets DARKNESS FALLS. What? You want more? Okay. Well shot with great lighting and good script, this Wes Craven backed film is well worth your time.

****SPOILER****

When a friend, Billy, commits suicide in front of her, Julia (Laura Regan) has a recurrence of her childhood night terrors. She meets some friends of Billy, and learns that they all had night terrors as children. When neither her boyfriend (Blucas) or her childhood psychiatrist believes that she is being stalked by They, dark-dwelling creatures, Julia must try and survive on her own. In the end, Julia is committed to a psychiatric ward, where she is promptly snatched and killed by They. Unless you like the alternate ending, where the entire story is just a delusion. What? Oh, now it's too much info. Aren't you ever happy?

I think this film deserved a theatrical run. It was at least as good as half of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, and better than most of the Friday the 13th flicks.
