Nightmare

Synopsis:
Since her mother’s incarceration in a mental institution, Boarding School Student Janet (Jennie Linden) suffers from debilitating nightmares. The dreams intensify to the point where school carer Mary (Brenda Burke) decides to place Janet back in the custody of her legal guardian Henry Baxter (David Knight). But, after returning home, Janet’s nightmares get worse and coincide with the arrival of a ghostly apparition.

 As well as being inspired by Hitchcock's "Psycho", "Nightmare" also evokes H.G Clouzot’s "Les Diaboliques", with its conspiring characters’ madness/ paranoia, school setting, family fracas’ and foreboding tone, while retaining the supernatural air of subtly sinister chillers like "The Haunting" and "The Innocents".
