winneganfakeSo, looks like I'm going to be flat-out hooked on TNT's production of Nightmares and Dreamscapes for the next few weeks.
Tonight's review:
(somehow I managed to miss both story titles, gah.)
Story #1: Brilliant. Great tension throughout, and well, as previously mentioned, William Hurt fucking rocks. Not just for brilliant acting, but for brilliant engaging acting with a range of emotion for almost an hour straight, and doing it all without saying a single word.
Story #2: Great concept. Loved the first 2/3rds of it, until it went to Lovecraft-land. Otherwise, this entire story wouldn't have been out of place as a Visions game. Pretty ok acting, though the male lead seemed to be too overwrought constantly. And for the love of god- either get a better budget for FX and CGI, or don't use the damn things. Please.
That said though, I'm definitely looking forwards to next week. Having not read the book, I'm curious- how many stories were there in total?
