Is she going insane or has something mindboggling has really changed the world as she remembers it? Nightmare Street takes you on this journey into the unexplained.
Sherilyn Fenn of Twin Peaks fame plays the lead Joanna Burke in this riveting mystery/thriller by prolific director Colin Bucksey. In her quest for finding out what happened to her daughter and others around her after the accident, Joanna is befriended by – and then romantically involved with – Dr. Matt Westbrook who goes from trying to make her accept her new identity of Sarah Randolph to actually figuring out if there is a rational explanation to the situation.
Nightmare Street has a solid plot with great twists and a roller-coaster story arc that keeps the viewer guessing and waiting for the moment of revelation. The writers – Margaret Tabor, Rama Laurie Stagner, and Dan Witt deserve praise for keeping it tight and engaging. Sherilyn Fenn is at her best and looks at the prime of her beauty. This TV movie has the classic come-full-circle ending. It’s a good one to enjoy on any weekend.
