Come True

Creepy, entertaining stuff with some twists and turns thrown in for good measure! Parts of the story may not be to everyone's liking but, i for one, loved this.

If I don't expect this film to be a horror movie, it wasn't that bad. Weak for horror, but like a normal film it wasn't bad and the ending of the film we quite liked had the right atmosphere and the resolution of the story wasn't bad at all. It's a pity that the interesting thing came from the film only in the last 30 minutes before the end.

I'm a fervent believer that the journey is more important than the destination, although sometimes the destination can be very disappointing. Come True plays with that, and while I wouldn't label it as a disappointment, unfortunately its outcome is not up to what it was building. Its tone is unsettling, although the narrative it's a bit messy. Nonetheless, it's sufficiently plot complex to keep you interested. Maybe it ends up feeling more basic than it did at first instance, but I've seen movies that have tried something similar in tone and style and failed miserably, whereas I think Come True fares better.

A young woman (Julia Sarah Stone) is haunted by an evil specter in her dreams. She enters a somewhat sketchy sleep study that examines the nightmares of its participants. NOTHING about this film is even remotely scary. The dreamscapes are obviously CGI and there’s nothing threatening about them. Even as the plot develops, the inconsistencies and lack of thought plagues its credibility. The only thing even remotely intense is the overbearing soundtrack. While it’s trying to achieve slow burn suspense, this poorly conceived film is simply dumb and tedious.
