‘A nightmare of unexpected terror! Don’t go near the barn’
Dream No Evil is a 1970 horror thriller about a young orphaned girl who is obsessed with finding her father. She is adopted by a travelling church, grows up and gets engaged. However, her obsession with finding her father is about to turn deadly.

The movie was written and directed by John Hayes (End of the World; Grave of the Vampire; Garden of the Dead). The Clover Fils production stars Edmond O’Brien, Brooke Mills, Marc Lawrence and Michael Pataki.

Originally submitted to the MPAA as The Faith Healer, it received an ‘R’ rating. The film was subsequently edited and released as Dream No Evil with a self-imposed ‘PG’ rating. It was also known as and Now I Lay Me Down to Die.

Plot:

Young preacher’s assistant Grace McDonald (Brooke Mills) goes insane and becomes lost in a murderous fantasy of her own creation…

“Dream No Evil achieves its strange disconsolate atmosphere without flamboyance. The emphasis is on feeling, with a tragic scenario in which the heroine’s struggle to find happiness is doomed because of her childhood.” Stephen Thrower, Nightmare USA
