On the day of her birthday, Anna (Charlotte Burke) plays a prank at school and is expelled from the classroom. Out of the blue, she faints, and her mother Kate (Glenne Headly) is summoned by the principal. While driving to the doctor, Anna tells her mother that her fainting was fake and that she misses her father that is travelling. Kate returns to the school with Anna and after class, Anna meets her friend Sharon (Samantha Cahill) and they play hide and seek. Anna faints again in a basement, and the police seek her out and bring her home. Dr. Sarah Nicols (Gemma Jones) sees that she has fever and while Anna sleeps, she dreams with the house she had drawn in a piece of paper and meets a disabled boy called Marc (Elliott Spiers) at the window. The feverish Anna continues to dream, blending her drawings and reality with dreams that becomes nightmares.
"Paperhouse" is an original fantasy-horror movie with a subtle drama. The plot is different, with good acting and few special effects. Charlotte Burke only performance was very promising. The boy Elliott Spiers unfortunately had a tragic end in 1994 with life imitating Art. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "A Casa dos Sonhos" ("The House of the Dreams")
