•
Obsessed by nightmares and mysterious events, young writer Mary Adams moves to the countryside in the hope of solving her problems. The attempt proves not only useless but also dangerous. The same goes for the other sequels to Joe Dante's film. Worse than the already "Nightmare" second chapter and as much as the third.
