MASTERS OF HORROR: DREAMS IN THE WITCH HOUSE
Eh.
PLOT
Walter is a down on his luck college student who needs a quiet place to study. He decides to rent a room at an hold house, even though the landlord isn’t crazy about renting to a student. He gets close to a woman in the building and her young son, even helping them when she finds a rat running loose. One of their neighbors tells him it’s just a warning sign of what’s coming and warns him about the rat with a human face. Walter laughs it off until he sees the rat and starts suffering horrible nightmares. Is there something more sinister afoot or is it all in his mind?
TRIVIA
Based on a short story by H.P. Lovecraft.
Directed by Stuart Gordon.
THOUGHTS
I recently watched Dreams in the Witch House again and I literally didn’t remember a single thing about it, though I’ve seen it twice. Even now I’m starting to forget about it again and it’s only been a couple of days since I saw it. The problem with the episode is that it doesn’t have anything really memorable. It’s there, you watch it and then you forget about it. Everything is fine, but it doesn’t have any real oomph.
