Night Visions is a serial-killer-at-large TV movie starring
James Remar and Loryn Locklin. Remar portrays the tough LA cop on the case. Ms. Locklin is a psychic, engaged by the police in a desperate effort to ferret out the killer. Unfortunately the psychic borders on the psychotic; her visions seem tinged by her own miserable past experience--and by the fact that she has multiple personalities. This reasonably original premise rapidly dwindles down to predictability; its happy ending was dictated by the fact that the film was the pilot for an unsold series. Night Visions was directed by
Wes Craven, who was required by network edicts to tone down the gleeful gore which permeated his
Nightmare on Elm Street films. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
