The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

Dream Scenario

Hapless family man Paul Matthews (Nicolas Cage) is suddenly thrust into the limelight and his life turned upside-down, when people around the world start inexplicably seeing him in their dreams.

But when his night-time appearances take a nightmarish turn, Paul is forced to navigate his newfound stardom and face the real-life consequences for actions he does not control.

A kind of comedic reversal of A Nightmare on Elm Street, this hilarious satire-come-social horror takes a swipe at influencer culture and societal groupthink.
