Reading the details for the line-up at the Cine-Excess 2020 festival this year,the detail that the co-star of Hard Target 2 (2016) was going behind the camera for the first time, made me extremely curious to witness this nightmare.

Note:Some plot details in review.

Based on the real horrors she faced from an encounter she had with a psychotic stalker, lead actress/ script continuity /production designer/casting director/ writer/ director Katrina Grey presents a incredibly eerie atmosphere,working closely with cinematographer Yan Frame to weave excellent fluid camera moves which melts the thin line holding Lucy's nightmares from entering reality.

Backed by a icy debut score from Grey's husband Randy Kalsi, Grey displays a sharp-eye for chilling set-pieces that slowly sink Lucy into the horror,via long stylish panning shots separating Lucy from crowds into a nightmare of murder.

Writing the screenplay as part of her recovery from the real trauma, Katrina Grey (who also gives a wonderfully expressive performance as Lucy) brings out a fantastic psychological depth to Lucy's nightmares.

Lucy's headaches leads to horrifying visions of the friends family she most trusts killing her,that keep Lucy on a knife-edge from which she falls into popping strong painkillers to try to block out the nightmares, that inadvertently release a confrontational reflection of Lucy's daytime nightmare.

Katrina Grey stars in, writes and directs this psychological horror film about an aspiring actress who starts to realise that her nightmares are seeping into her reality. The beautiful Thailand locations provide a picturesque backdrop to this ambitious independent production. Great soundtrack too.
