WIRE Buzz: 'Come True' dreams up eerie trailer, Clive Barker's Books of Blood heads to Hulu & more
We're picking up some Nightmare on Elm Street vibrations from the first trailer for Come True ... you know, like "dream come true?" It's a new horror flick that's on course to premiere at this year's Fantasia International Film Festival on Aug. 30.
Written, directed, and shot by Anthony Scott Burns (Our House), the movie stars Julia Sarah Stone (Honey Bee) as Sarah, a troubled teenager who struggles with recurring nightmares and financial instability after she runs away from home. She consents to take part in a university sleep study that offers shelter, money, and the friendship of head scientist Jeremy (Truth or Dare's Landon Liboiron). However, something starts to seem fishy about the study, which may be making Sarah's disturbing dreams worse, not better.
"As the darkness begins to close in, it's soon clear that Sarah has unknowingly become the conduit to a horrifying, new discovery," says the plot description.
Check out the trailer below (which was first reported by Deadline):
Aided by some '80s-inspired synth, the trailer captures the haziness and terror that often accompany your average nightmare/dream state.
Fantasia 2020 will take place completely online between Aug. 20 and Sept. 2. You can purchase festival tickets for Come True right here.

Clive Barker, the acclaimed horror writer whose literary works include the Hellraiser series, is now coming to Hulu. The Disney-owned streaming platform announced today that it would debut the Books of Blood film adaptation — which was first announced last November — on Oct. 7. The project is based on the six-volume collection of short stories Barker published in the 1980s.
Helmed by Brannon Braga (a writing alum of Star Trek, 24, and Terra Nova), the movie co-stars Britt Robertson, Rafi Gavron, Anna Friel, Yul Vazquez, and Freda Foh Shen. Barker executive-produces alongside Braga and The Orville creator Seth MacFarlane. Viewers can expect to embark "on a journey into uncharted and forbidden territory through three uncanny tales tangled in space and time," reads the synopsis provided on IMDB.
