Deathdream, much more than just a straightforward horror, Clark uses his supreme skill as a manipulator of tension to present another Zombie classic that was one of the first films to confront the domestic ravages of the Vietnam War. In this shattering variation on “The Monkey’s Paw”, grief-stricken suburban parents refuse to accept the news that their son Andy has been killed in Vietnam. But when Andy returns home soon after, something may be horribly wrong: Andy is alive and well... or is he? (101 Films)
