Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 2009 low-budget indie fantasy film directed by Jamin Winans. When people go to sleep at night, certain beings come to them and give dreams. Storytellers supply happy images, while Incubi are evil creatures who give people nightmares and encourage vanity or despair in the individual. These creatures are both usually unseen by mortals and exist in a murky, dream-like mirror world of our own. However, neither of these creatures can directly influence the real world. It is implied that Incubi can indirectly influence certain individuals during the daytime, by building up their pride or tearing them down through whispers of despair.The main story is centered around a little girl, Emma, who is abducted into the dream world by the namesake villain Ink. A group of Storytellers try to rescue her by bringing her separated father to her bed as her body lies in a coma. This involves one of the coolest chain reactions in film. (Which is no surprise, considering it's made by the same people who brought us Spin.)Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The movie hit it big on bittorrent sites in early November 2009. The director squealed with glee. This reaction was the second admission by a film director or film producer that "unauthorized" downloads can be good for getting the word out for a work.Can be watched online via Hulu here, or purchased on GOG.com here.

Ax-Crazy: Sadie does not like Storytellers. Sadie does not like other women, particularly lovely ones. Consider her reason for being a drifter and personality.

Also Ink. Granted, he was in the room the whole time, but The Reveal hits him in time to pull a Heel–Face Turn and rescue Emma.

Black-and-White Morality: It's pretty obvious that the Storytellers are all good and Incubi are all bad. The drifters, however, are mostly neutrally in the middle, not caring to choose either side. There are a few who are shown to be swayed in their allegiances, though.

Berserk Button: Don't remind Allel of her failure. Or taunt her. And. DON'T. Mess with Emma around John. In ANY form. Ink's a little touchy about his inadequacy.

Big Damn Heroes: Subverted when Ink kidnaps Emma. He thrashes the main Storytellers before they call in reinforcements, and even then he still escapes. The best they do is slow him down. The Pathfinder manages to activate a magical distress beacon just in time. Also Ink. Granted, he was in the room the whole time, but The Reveal hits him in time to pull a Heel–Face Turn and rescue Emma.
