Why watch this film?
Directed by artist Dave McKean and written by author Neil Gaiman (who had previously worked together on the illustrated novel 'Coraline'), 'The Dreaming Mask' is a film whose production had a curious story, as it was thought of as a direct-to-video release to replicate the success of cult fantasy classics like 'Labyrinth' or Jim Henson's 'The Crystal Maze'. The result has a somewhat superfluous plot, but it will surely remind you of 'The Wizard of Oz', 'Alice in Wonderland' or even 'Coraline and the Secret Door'. Though the passage of time is noticeable in its animations and visual effects, its originality is certainly worth appreciating, and it boasts an art direction with McKean's dreamy and dark signature style (which earned him an award at the Sitges Film Festival).
