Here is how The IMDb describes this short film:
Olivia thought her time at summer camp would be a nightmare, but she never expected to be so right. The 13-year-old soon faces her greatest fears when a child with no name leads her into the woods that hold the dark and sinister secrets of Mister Sandman. Terrified, Olivia is left to wonder if it was just her imagination or if her nightmares had indeed come to life.
My Thoughts
My brother GC and I watched this the other day, and we were both disappointed.
We think that it is the worst video that we have seen on Crypt TV so far.
The acting was not so good, there were some bad cuts/edits, not much happened, and not much was explained; and the final special effect was not good.
