No, it's not what it sounds like, it's not a horror film or a suspense-thriller. Nicolas Cage stars in a new film called Dream Scenario wherein he plays a middle-aged tenured professor who, by some weird circumstance, starts to appear in people's dreams. Not exactly Freddy Krueger, he just shows up all of a sudden and does nothing apparently? After appearing in several people's dreams, he goes viral and attracts a lot of attention. All of that goes on until halfway through the film when Cage's character actually starts doing something in people's dreams and takes a turn for the nightmarish.
The sudden switch slashes away all the fame and popularity he received before, and people start to cancel him. It's an interesting premise with some comedic charms to it, but it slightly falls off in the end as it fails to make a point. Still, it's a different side to Nicolas Cage that his fans might be thrilled to see.
