'He has the power to make you live his nightmares. And he's dreaming about you. '
No, 'he' isn't Ozzy Osbourne, so you'll have to explain those bat carcasses on your pillow some other way. 'He' is the title character in The Sender, a nifty atmospheric horror flick and the scariest thing to come out of England since Haircut One Hundred.
As played by newcomer Zeljko Ivanek (take that, CREEM typesetters), The Sender is a tightlipped young psycho who has no recollection of who he was before he tried to walk on water at a beach in Georgia. No one has attempted that stunt in the area since Gregg Allman back in 1972, so The Sender is hustled off to the booby hatch.
There he has his cerebrum pored over by a team of shrinks including sexy Kathryn Harrold, with whom he soon establishes a powerful telepathic link. The Dauph would have gone for something more physical but then I'm not used to seeing doctors like Harrold in the asylums I frequent.
