'Somnium' Review: Indie Sci-fi Struggles to Balance Big Dreams and Traumatic Memories
Deeply entrenched fears and looming insecurities are terrifying in their own right, but they're even more sinister when they're used against you. When confronting personal obstacles in a daunting pitch-black dreamscape akin to Stranger Things' the Upside Down or Insidious' the Further, the only way out is through. Interdimensional 21st-century references aside, writer-director Rachael Cain's debut feature Somnium explores the nuanced world of dreams — in the sense of mental imagery during slumber and "I want to be a star"— and their connection to memories and internal struggle.
