Nights into Dreams (2015 film)

Nights into Dreams is a 2015 american action-fantasy film directed by Eli Roth based on the video game of the same name that was released in 1996 on Sega Saturn.

Synopsis
Every night, all human dreams are played out in Nightopia and Nightmare, the two parts of the dream world. In Nightopia, distinct aspects of dreamers' personalities are represented by luminous coloured spheres known as "Ideya". The evil ruler of Nightmare, Wizeman the Wicked, is stealing this dream energy from sleeping visitors in order to gather power and take control of Nightopia and eventually the real world. To achieve this, he creates five beings called "Nightmaren": jester-like, flight-capable beings, which include Jackle, Clawz, Gulpo, Gillwing and Puffy as well as many minor maren. He also creates two "Level One" Nightmaren: Nights and Reala. However, Nights rebels against Wizeman's plans, and is punished by being imprisoned inside an Ideya palace, a container for dreamers' Ideya.

William Taylor is a kid who lives in the city of Bellbridge. He is an aspiring football player. While Will's father is transferred to another city for work and leaves his son by himself. Both children suffer nightmares and come under attack by the Nightmaren, who chase him into the world of Nightopia. There, Will meet and free Nights. Learning that Wizeman is plotting to take over the dream world and consequently enter the real world, the children resolve to stop Wizeman, but face resistance from the Nightmaren he commands, particularly Nights' sibling, Reala.
