Reaction: This one came really close to turning a profit and grossed a decent amount at the box office. The domestic box office was a bit light, but we suspect that the lack of a profit on this one may boil down to the cast being a bit too expensive without drawing in enough extra audience.
"This one obviously owes a lot to genre classics like A Nightmare on Elm Street, but that's not necessarily a bad thing here. Burnt Dreams manages to subvert the similarities to generate extra scares for the audience." - Gillian Donaldson, Variety
"Some scenes were more gratuitous than helpful toward the plot, but the casting of the primary roles helps elevate this film above the usual horror fluff that this story could have easily become." - Andy Lewis, Cincinnati Enquirer
"Burnt Dreams picks up its pace by the end, but the film spends the bulk of its running time being too coy toward the audience with its plot and character motivations." - Sean Sullivan, Financial Times

Rated R for strong grisly violence, language and disturbing images
