Rapid Eye Movement Audience Reviews

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
sharonamehdi The best independent film that i ever saw.Its definitely a must see movie.I loved Kansas Carradine in this film.She did a wonderful job.The actors worked so well together.They had a lot of chemistry.This movie is like a nicer version of silence of the lambs.I loved how Carradine was captured and taken out of her will for her nigthmares.I love how the actors played their roles in the film so well.This movie made me feel that something like this could happen.It is a possibility.It keeps you thinking whats next and makes you want more.Its hard to stop watching its so interesting.I definitely loved this movie and i recommend this movie to everyone.
JDavidCrosby I recommend checking this movie out. Yes it's an indie, low budget flick on the surface, but what it may lack in Hollywood Glitz is made up in substance with an interesting, original story that's nicely portrayed by a well chosen cast. It's an enjoyable movie with a lot of little twists and turns that keep you wondering what's going to happen next and how it will end. These guys chose to put the emphasis on telling a good story and keeping your interest unlike most indie movies I've seen. Kansas Carradine, in my opinion, is Hollywood Royalty. She comes from an acting family that has entertained the world for decades and she does a wonderful job in Rapid Eye Movement. They couldn't have cast a better star.
Eric I don't know what some of the "critics" of this film have been smoking, but I don't want none of that. They be expecting Citizen Kane and this movie isn't Citizen Kane, but I like the twists and turns of this movie. I thought some of the special effects were crappy, but what do you expect from a low budget movie. I probably would have gotten rid of some of the special effects because some of them are laughable, but movies like this are not watched for the special effects, but for the script and directing angles. Give it a break. I love these people who bash a movie when they can't do any better. See this movie, not for the special effects, but for the twists, the directing, and even some of the acting is good.
Digibody In a world where Hollywood special effects and pretentious "pretty" actors rule the screen with no content, finally a film is made with intelligence, substance and meaning. A picture that makes you reflect on the subject matter and really think weeks after you've seen it. Yes, this film had no budget. Yes, it's picture image is grainy. Yes, it wasn't shot on 35mm film. But boy did it blow me away! It starts off with characters that are real. A depressed guy about to marry a girl. He doesn't care about the wedding. The girl is so stressed out by the wedding she starts having nightmares. The guy (Todd) cares more about his wannabe writing career than his fiancée and, on a whim, he writes down her dreams, submits it to a friend who works at a Talent Agency and they next thing you know, he sees a window of opportunity to jump start his career. When Jenny starts taking medication to stop the nightmares, Todd gives her a placebo to keep that story material coming for his all American Novel. Arguably one of the coolest plots for a movie I've ever heard. Congrats to the filmmakers for their originality and vision. I admire their passion and creativity. Can't wait for the next one.
