Bad Dreams is a 1988 American horror film.In 1975, a cult called Unity Fields commits mass suicide. Only one young woman, Cynthia, a child at the time of the fire, survives, though she lies in a coma for thirteen years. After she wakes, Cynthia is plagued by horrific flashbacks of her childhood at Unity Fields, and is forced to attend experimental group therapy sessions for borderline personality disorder at a hospital.Cynthia's visions become more vivid, and include the cult leader, Harris. When patients start to appear brutally killed, she believes that Harris has come back from his death to kill those around her. But there seems to be more going on than it appears...

Mad Doctor: Dr. Berrisford turns out to be the one responsible for the patients' deaths, having intentionally laced the therapy group's drugs with psychogenic substances to make them kill themselves.

comment
Psycho Psychologist: Dr. Berrisford intentionally laced the therapy group's drugs with psychogenic substances in the hope that it will effectively make the patients suicidal, all to thus corroborate his research.

Inspector Javert: Detective Wasserman is depressingly quick to publicly accuse Cynthia of being more deeply involved in the cult suicide than she claims and later suspects her of getting her fellow patients to kill themselves. He's wrong on both counts.
