Description:
In the vein of The X-Files and The Twilight Zone! Stranded in the Nevada mountains between Las Vegas and Reno in the desolate and radiation-poisoned nuclear testing grounds of Dreamland, young couple Megan and Dylan stop in a greasy spoon cafe where they learn about the infamous "Area 51" secret government base a few miles away. After they get back on the road, Dylan turns on the radio... and the only broadcast he can find is a speech from Hitler at the 1936 Olympic Games. Suddenly the car dies, and Megan, Dylan and their broken-down Lincoln are left alone in the dark, desolate desert. Out of the night, a visitor appears in the rear window of the car... a visitor from another moment in time. Scared for their lives, Megan and Dylan run from the car into the lonely darkness, where their incredible journey is only beginning...

The look of the thing says horror, while the story is pure sci-fi. Dreamland plays like a low-budget episode of The X-Files sans Mulder and Scully. It starts with a young couple, Megan (Jackie Kreisler) and Dylan (Shane Elliot), driving an old beater from Vegas to Reno to visit her parents. Along the way, they drop by a kitschy diner for a bite to eat. Decorated with all manner of alien paraphernalia, the shack is situated near Area 51. While there, the tobacco-chewing clerk (Jonathan Breck, Jeepers Creepers) tells the duo a fantastic tale about locals who travel through time. They write him off as a kook and continue on their way. When their car breaks down in the middle of the desert, the two get separated, and Megan encounters one strange thing after another: a spooky little girl, a dying soldier, and Adolph Hitler (a development far more ridiculous than scary). Eventually, they're reunited. Dylan claims he's fixed the car, so they return to the road, but something about him has changed. From that point onwards, the trip grows more bizarre until all the mysteries are resolved by montage. That seems to be the intention, at any rate. Written and directed by veteran soundman James Lay (House of 1000 Corpses), Dreamland offers an intriguing premise and a few minor frights, but the end result feels more like a rough draft than a finished film. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

This movie is probably something you will either really like, or you will hate, but I hope that you give it a chance. It is obviously a very low-budget film--that's clear from the start, so I didn't have my hopes up very high.
However, I was *very* pleasantly surprised. The story makes some sense on the first view, but you really need to watch it a second time to put a lot of things together. Most of the story is told with clues and hints; you aren't going to be hit over the head with ... Read More

One thing I really hate is when I have to go back in a movie to see what I missed because I couldn't figure out what or why something just happened a minute ago. I could have spent 4 hours watching this film if I had gone back every time I lost track of what was going on. It seemed like there were some possibilities here, but boy this thing really got derailed. It was a mess. I wanted some thrills and scares, but all I got was weird. Little Hitler! What was that all about? Never mind. Just ... Read More

We watched a double feature of DREAMLAND and THE LAKE HOUSE with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, and afterwards realized they were essentially the same picture, only THE LAKE HOUSE had storyboards.
What happened to Megan shouldn't have happened to a dog. She's dead broke, out of a job, and her boyfriend won't even properly maintain this big old showboat cruiser with an enormous gas tank. So that when Megan and Dylan decide to visit friends in Nevada, somewhere between Reno and Vegas, ... Read More

The film is considerably shorter than most in this genre and doesn't seem to have a third act. Which caused me to wonder if the film company ran out of money before it could be completed.
At any rate, it lacked direction and the minimal plot ran into a wall.

What a waste of time. I must admit that it sounded pretty good but that was it. What a dud!!!!
