It is easy to get lost in your thoughts, but what happens when you get lost in the mind of someone capable of destroying the world?
Ambrose London, a renowned expert in the field study of dreams, is called by a fellow doctor in the Arkham Asylum to interview James Fhelleps, a patient with apparently a case of split personality disorder. Since his first encounter with him, London starts to have nightmares and hallucinations. This turns out to be merely the beginning of his problems, as Joe Slater, the second personality of the patient, not only starts to feel as a real evil person, but also as something that has the goal to end humanity as we know it, and the means to do it.
Ok, there are some good things that writer and director Chad Ferrin brings with his new film “Unspeakable: Beyond the Wall of Sleep”, based on the short story written by H.P. Lovecraft of (almost) the same name…
However, before I dwell into details, I need to give you a warning:
Do not watch this film during family time in your living room!
This goes double especially if you have people in your household that might be minors or that are sensitive to nudity, gore, mutilations and (somewhat – I’m not judging) gratuitous sex scenes, and who might walk into the room at the worst possible moment.
With that out the way, allow me to elaborate.
