'Beyond Dream's Door' (1989) – Jay Woelfel.

Benjamin Dobbs (Nick Baldasare) is a diligent A student whose life becomes a living hell as his extracurricular dream studies disturbingly awaken long dormant terrors within! Beyond Dream's Door is a hallucinatory, hauntingly strange, Lovecraft-inspired low budget horror film from talented independent filmmaker/composer Jay Woelfel. A grossly malign, mind-warping, flesh-chomping Lovecraftian dream virus infects all those unfortunately exposed to Dobbs's unsettling, increasingly demonic nightmare! This frequently inventive feature shows how much can be achieved when modest financial means are boosted by a vivid imagination, and an equally capable cast and crew! With solid, if occasionally overzealous performances, an engrossing text, creative photography, and a generosity of delightfully lurid practical FX, off-beat indie gem 'Beyond Dream's Door' still has much to recommend it to the discerning horror fan! Unfairly neglected upon its initial release, and due to its current wider availability, the increased popularity of 'Beyond Dream's Door' is, quite frankly, wholly deserved! Enjoyed today, 'Beyond Dream's Door' stands out from the Jump Scare juvenilia of identikill slashers, wretchedly recycled remakes and soulless, excruciatingly dull Exorcist facsimiles.

'It all started with a series of increasingly violent dreams!' (Beyond Dream's Door)
