6/10
Perhaps too bleak.
A director comes to the Southwest to make a zombie movie set in the desert. He is plagued by strange dreams and things begin to manifest on his doorstep. A dead cat, broken glasses, doll parts. He begins to see that these are objects from his nightmares. He investigates discovering that an insane outcast from a local Indian tribe took a group of settlers out into the desert 150 years back to found a city there and build a temple. Deep in the desert, he seeks out the roots of his dreams and discovers he has the same affliction the shaman had, a plague of dreams from another reality, apocalyptic visions that will one day come to pass. He kills the shaman, hoping to destroy the root of the disease, but it is too late. He doesn't realize he will remain infected. The visions will spread and the contents of this other reality will manifest through people's dreams.
