Death Dreams (1991 TV Movie)
3/10
Predictable and sloppy

Warning: Spoilers
After surviving a near-fatal car accident, Crista Westfield has visions of her deceased daughter who claims her drowning was no accident.

Ok, just the kind of plot best served up in a made-for-TV film.

Unfortunately, this is hampered by lazy plotting and bland characters.

Crista never seems very torn about accusing her new husband of murder and the scenes of her communicating with her daughter are rather dull and fleeting. Very little is ever explained (we don't even find out the husband's motive) and it culminates in an absolutely ludicrous finale that sees the husband on trial for murder despite the case resting solely on Crista's visions! Aside from being completely unbelievable and unnecessary, this scene only serves to highlight how sloppily constructed this film is. Performances are solid and I'm sure it was serviceable enough when it first aired and nothing else was on but that scenario has passed. Why bother with this when there are so many better supernatural TV dramas available?
