Trailer #1:




Below taken from Rue Morgue 107: December 2010, p.44:

Aegri Somnia (Latin for "a sick man's dreams") is the bleak portrayal of Edgar, a quiet milquetoast who lives a life of predictable monotony and drab ennui as he tries to come to terms with his wife's unexpected suicide. Seemlessly blending elements from German expressionism and 1940s film noir, this visually haunting pastiche is reminiscent of films such as Eraserhead, Jacob's Ladder, and Dark City. Shot predominantly in black and white, Aegri Somnia has a disquieting and disorienting feel to it that envelops the viewer as Edgar wrestles with his overpowering desire for isolation and seclusion.But it's filmmaker James Rewucki's evocative direction and actor Tyhr Trubiak's masterful performance as Edgar that makes his ordeal terrifyingly real. This one's destined for cult status.

Haven't seen it yet, but I think that there are quite a few people on here who would be interested in viewing it... Anyone check this out? I'm curious.

Looks very low budget.

I may never watch it.

YOU look very low budget!

Acid-induced pychotic nightmare of a mental breakdown.....im in.

I'm actually not, but what YOU think is not important. :p

Oh! At a first glance I read the title as Angra Somnia (A Sick Man's Dream)!:D

LOL

Good one, Ros. :p
