Dead of Night

A group of friends' weekend getaway takes a dark turn as their shared spooky tales become eerily intertwined with one friend's unsettling dream, blurring the lines between reality and horror.

In this psychological horror film, a struggling architect named Walter Craig visits a rural farmhouse, only to find himself trapped in a recurring nightmare. As he tries to avoid the inevitable end of the dream, he listens to the eerie stories of the other guests, all while sensing that something sinister is lurking beneath the surface.
