Meghan (Jackie Kreisler) and Dylan (Shane Elliott) are crossing the Nevada desert in an old car to visit her foster parents, and Meghan sees a little girl alone in the desert. They stop at the "Little A'Le'Inn" diner, a weird place decorated with alien motive, to eat a hamburger with milkshake and they have a conversation with the bartender Blake, who tells stories about UFOs. They leave the diner and they have to stop in the middle of nowhere due a car problem. Dylan faints and Meghan sees the little girl and ghost that tell her that they know who she is. Is Meghan losing her mind or are the weird events for real? "Dreamland" is a promising and intriguing low-budget movie with a messy conclusion and fake reviews. I read a couple of explanations in IMDb that help to understand some points but the result is very confused. In my point of view, any movie that you need to watch several times to try to understand is not a good film unless when it is a cult-movie that is not the case of "Dreamland". My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Área 51 - Zona Mortal" ("Area 51 – Mortal Zone")

A moody, three-quarter-sketched genre document somewhere between The X-Files, The Twilight Zone, The Mothman Prophecies and (surprisingly) a heartwarming Lifetime fictioner, writer-director James Lay's Dreamland is a spooky, open-ended, alien-tinged quasi-thriller that makes the most of its desolate landscapes. Shot in deep shades of blue by cinematographer Jonathan Hale, the movie is an old school, filmic exercise in the elongation of apprehension. When filmmaker Robert Rodriguez talked, in Rebel without a Crew, his tome about the making of El Mariachi, about making a list of one's assets, and then using those to help shape the narrative of a movie, he could very well have been talking about a movie like this, so spare and streamlined are its moves and payoffs.There's also an admirable, rewarding slow-play of details to match the low-key stakes of the story. if you can take character-rooted nuance in your sci-fi, there's some genuine enjoyment to be found here.

I've seen a lot of films from all genres and i've read many of the reviews here already and i have to say i agree and i disagree. This is NOT a great film, in fact it's barely even good. The plot is generally good and the twist at the end was fantastic, but i was left thinking at the end 'er, what was all that about?' Many of the references to history were pretty pointless since the film is not actually anything to do with them, the whole time travel idea is a good one, but is hardly used throughout the film. The acting was also a little wooden. I am glad i took the time to watch the film, but would definitely not recommend it or watch it again. I only hope someone else takes the plot and makes a different film with a stronger cast and storyline out of it.

I watched this because of the description and cover art and yet again was deceived.I am getting sick of all these new stupid straight to DVD horror movies.Once in a blue moon 1 will be OK. It started out with a confusing scene and then jumped 30 years and showed a couple one night during a thunderstorm which was OK because I like storms and it set a nice mood.Then it turned into a cool road trip where they ended up at a diner encountering bizarre people.The rest got weird and then got confusing.I did watch it til the end but was even more confused when it ended so badly.I had higher hopes for this movie but it was more like a science fiction then horror and something that should have been made for TV.
