Watch Dreaming Purple Neon

Dreaming Purple Neon is a horror film that was released in 2016. Directed and produced by Todd Sheets, the film takes place in the dark corners of the city following a group of strangers who are brought together by a mysterious figure. The movie starts with a glimpse of the antagonist, which is a mystical woman who resides in a derelict building. Her mysticism is derived from a combination of her thought-provoking monotone narration, invoking suspicion and dark perspectives, with her wearing a mask and constantly smoking a cigarette. She provides the central plot point for the movie: a drug that is believed to allow the user to see into the spiritual realm.

The main cast consists of six characters, each of them presented as flawed and vulnerable. Among them are Mark, a detective searching for answers; Janine, a prostitute on the run from her pimp; and Mike, a drug dealer. The fate of the characters revolves around a drug called "purple neon", which is said to reveal hidden truths and can warp the users' minds to create vivid hallucinations from their worst fears.

As the characters navigate through the gritty underworld of the city, the mystic woman makes diabolical plans and sets events in motion that ultimately lead to nightmarish sequences of blood, gore, and terror. The plot twist of the movie is well-thought-of and will leave any horror or suspense fan satisfied.

The movie's settings are mostly in abandoned buildings, adding a gritty, eerie atmosphere to the film. The low budget of the movie is also evident in the movie's slightly cheesy special effects, but they are in no way a distraction to the overall horror experience.

The performances by the actors were satisfactory, given the low budget of the movie. Jeremy Edwards, who played Mark, did an impressive job portraying his character's unwavering search for the truth, while Eli DeGeer was convincing as the mysterious and dark-narrator of the film.

More impressively, Todd Sheets, who was the writer and the movie's director, manages to keep the audience engaged with the story and the characters. He skillfully pieces together a rollercoaster of thrills and terror and provides the audience with a satisfying ending.

Overall, Dreaming Purple Neon is a must-watch for horror enthusiasts who value compelling storylines and are not afraid of confronting their greatest fears. Although it has some shortcomings in terms of special effects, the movie still manages to provide an entertaining and terrifying experience to those who dare to watch it.

Dreaming Purple Neon is a 2016 drama with a runtime of 1 hour and 49 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.4.
