Kicking off the Halloween movie marathon, I chose this intimate film from director Bernard Rose (Candyman, Immortal Beloved). Lonely Anna has a hyperactive imagination and escapes into her drawings when she sleeps. Bedridden for a week with fever, as her dreams become more frequent, they also get darker...and more real. Doesn't hold up as well as in my memory, but it affected me deeply when I was younger.

This film had me enthralled as a kid. I'll never forget its emotional impact on my young mind. It's been many years since I watched it so maybe I'd feel the same as you about it now. I'd love to see it again.
