Harvey's Dream
Director: Quinn Spicker | 2012| Canada | 7 minutes
What's it about? An old man describes a nightmare to his put-upon wife, and she begins to fear that his dream has become reality. Based on a short story by Stephen King.
What's good? That Stephen King is generous with copyright. The prolific novelist is well-known for allowing student and amateur filmmakers to adapt his stuff for little-to-no fee. Take that, Harlan Ellison.
What's bad? George Carlin once said that "nothing is so boring as listening to someone else describe a dream." That holds true in Harvey's Dream, which also features egregious misuse of expository voiceover, and a twist ending that doesn't really make enough visual or logical sense.
Overall? Air ball. [Continued ...]...
