Neil Jordan's previous work is usually excellent; Butcher Boy, Crying Game, Interview with the Vampire. Not this time, his current outing, In Dreams, is a disaster. It's a preposterous, depressing story about a woman whose dreams are invaded by psychotic serial killer intent on murdering her family, starting with her young daughter. The acting is either somnambulant like Aidan Quinn as the husband, or "chewing the scenery" like Annette Benning as the mother, and Robert Downey Jr as the child-murdering psychotic.
