Story

Learning to kill is fun

Danielle Donahue stars as the titular dreamer in this gruesome tale of Lucinda, who studies every move in the daily life of other killers, carefully examining their methods, habits and approach to serial murder. But before she's ready to strike out on her own, our studious heroine decides she must first practice on her own teacher. The unsettling low-budget horror features such unusual murder weapons as sugar, a drill and a hot iron.
