Paperhouse (Bernard Rose) [0] - British horror film-makers seem to be very interested in the relationship between dreams and reality; this is another example, but it deserves praise for trying a slightly different approach, even though it is not 100% successful. The story concerns a young girl, suffering from a glandular fever type illness, who discovers that her hallucinations are affected, and can be controlled, by a sketch she is drawing. For a while this is great fun - then the visions start to take on a life of her own, and suddenly it isn't quite as nice anymore. For the first hour, this is an excellent film, far sharper than the muddled and confused 'Dream Demon', and almost up to the level of the great and god-like 'Hellraiser'. The dream sequences are handled with a lot of style and imagination - the scenes where she is being chased by her dream father are especially impressive. Unfortunately, the pace in the last third slackens severely, and the ending is not brilliant. Nonetheless this remains an impressive film, and it is good to see the British horror film is still alive and well.
