A coma patient dreams of murders happening in real time. Sleep tight!
A Police SWAT troop is entering an abandoned factory where a sadistic serial killer named 'The Spider' detained his victims. The entire squad is massacred and for Doctor Leemen, psychiatrist and profiler, is the last unbearable defeat. So, he decide to leave the case and return to his ancient work in a Psychiatric clinic for teenagers. Here he treats Matthew, a sensible and introvert boy that awakes from a coma, who begins to have visions about the crimes of 'The Spider'. Matt and his friend Nick contact Hope, a young journalist that investigate about Spider's murders. Matching Hope's knowledge and Matthew's visions, they have the elements to resolve the case. Studying Matthew's visions and nightmares, they follow the killer's death's spiral from the beginning to the unavoidable face to face that hides a terrible secret.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Luigi Cecinelli never made another feature after this 2009 obscurity, which vanished into streaming purgatory despite its ambitious psychic-procedural premise.
Visions arrived at the tail end of the 2000s 'torture porn' wave but pivoted toward supernatural teen thriller instead, landing in neither camp successfully. The Spider's MO echoes Se7en without the budget.
