Deathdream (Bob Clark) is an effectively downbeat horror film that not only holds up remarkably well as a sign post of its era, but holds as much social import today as it did in the early 1970s, when it resonated of the final years of the Vietnam War. I had seen it on video once or twice, but never on the big screen.
