Since her childhood, Jessica has been haunted by recurrent nightmares whose meaning escapes her. This peculiarity has led her to study the psychophysiology of dreams and to follow a therapy with Sean, her mentor and boyfriend, to try and understand the origin of her nightmares. Following the death of her maternal grandmother she hardly knew, Jessica reluctantly returns to the family home. She doesn't get along with her mother very well and is not looking forward to seeing her again. Upon her arrival, Jessica discovers that her late grandmother is lying in the adjoining room to her own during the wake. After a rough first night made restless by a strange nightmare in which she meets her dead grandmother, Jessica suddenly becomes ill. Stuck in bed with a high fever, the young woman decides to use her lethargic state to try out lucid dreaming. In order to do so, and on Sean's advice, Jessica breathes a little bit of ether whenever she needs to sink deeper into the other world to try and take control of her nightmares. Jessica then begins to wander in a nightmarish world inhabited by twisted versions of her family members. She gradually improves her skills as a lucid dreamer and investigates to solve the mystery that gnaws her and haunts the family home...

| User ReviewAnthony JVery well acted film brought to you by the great people at Black Fawn films. I believe it to be their most ambitious film yet. It's pretty artsy, so it won't appeal to everyone. The dream sequences are absolutely astonishing and the cinematography is very colourful and tends to emulate Argento, which is very good thing. The fantastic score really draws you in. |
| User ReviewCourtney KPretty low budget, but they made well with what they had. The concept, the cinematography, the visual aspect as a whole is done well. I would imagine if you gave these guys a little more money and time to fully develop the ideas, it would be really solid. |
| User ReviewLee MHorsehead is a movie that doesn't give you any breathing space as it immediately jumps straight in. It's kind of exhausting because we now get a straightforward plot that tries to unravel a mystery for the upcoming 90 minutes. While it isn't really erotic, it does include some elements, which I didn't mind, but didn't make much sense either. That being said, there are some beatiful shots and I believe the story had potential. Unfortunately Horsehead leaves you confused after an anticlimatic ending with many questions left unsolved. |

| User ReviewPablo GRomain Basset may be aiming to create a Argento-esque horror movie, but it looks more like an extended 1990's video for NIN and Marilyn Manson by Mark Romanek or Floria Sigismondi. But that is being too generous. While he has managed to stretch a very small budget to create some amazing looking set-ups -- he fails to focus on plot and dialogue. Basset also appears to want to be "surrealist" and "avant-garde" without really understanding what either actually means. The movie fails to be either interesting or scary. It only succeeds in being stupid with some lush dressing. |
