Rescue distance: The distance at which the parent of a small child knows they can always drop everything and sprint to rescue their child from whatever may happen to them. Grows shorter around swimming pools, kitchens, strangers.

Except it's not always that easy to know where the dangers are. Fever Dream takes a familiar horror concept - no, I won't say which one - and turns it around, casting the whole thing as a feverish post-game analysis where we're not sure what has happened and what may still be done about it, one long dialogue between two people who may or may not be culpable, may or may not be victims, may or may not even be at all. Engrossing, chilling, and tragically vivid.
