His search for her becomes increasingly more surreal as he is abducted by a hooded man with a scarred face and taken to a mass burial site in the desert, He meets a preacher who keeps appearing on television and claims to be Scarlett’s father. Alex then wakes up to find this was a dream and he is now married to Paige. As he tries to puzzle over whether what happened was dream or if what he is now experiencing is a dream or even someone else’s dream, he finds that Scarlett is his next door neighbour. Even though she does not recognise him, he begins to obsessively follow her.
“Malone brings gravity to her role and she and Smith have good onscreen chemistry. The movie is good looking, and it captures the singular oddness of the American southwest.” – At the Foothills of Madness
