Rating: 4/5 -- Paxton, in one of his last performances, is a diabolical blend of fresh-faced wholesomeness and pure evil. Full Review
Killer Movie Reviews

Rating: 3.5/4 -- While the plot often travels familiar paths and even the impressive camerawork is evocative of other films, "Mean Dreams" has a few story tricks up its sleeve. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/5 -- The story is driven by character, not coincidence, with the bonus of Paxton giving a powerfully nasty performance as the protective dad from hell. Full Review

Familiarity doesn't always yield tedium, but it's hard to muster much enthusiasm for Mean Dreams' sleepy regionalist remix of genre tropes and images. Full Review

Son Lux's percussive and atonal score combined with the kids constantly looking over their shoulders lend their escapes a sense of immediacy and danger. Full Review

Mr. Morlando -- working with his skilled cinematographer, Steve Cosens, from a tight script by Kevin Coughlin and Ryan Grassby -- capitalizes on rural Canadian locations in autumn and the chemistry of his young, talented stars.

Paxton gives a chilling performance as a monstrously abusive father in director Nathan Morlando’s stark and bleak MEAN DREAMS, a tribute of sorts to Terrence Malick’s 1973 classic BADLANDS, both in style and story.
