What an unsettling little film. I loved Anthony Scott Burns' previous feature, OUR HOUSE, and his follow-up proves he's one of the best genre filmmakers working right now. COME TRUE takes the documentary THE NIGHTMARE and turns it into a horrifying narrative tale that sends shivers down the spine and features one of the most effective endings I've seen from a horror film in ages. If the idea of 'the shadow man' and night terrors and sleep paralysis give you the willies, this film is going to mess you up.

As it stands, the film seems like the folks who made it were forced to do so at gunpoint, going through the motions as best they could. John Lee Hancock, who wrote and directed the film, is not known for his visual style. He makes serviceable,…
