The Other Side of the Night

by K Kishmot

Overview

A Dream Kit to make the things you want to come true come true...

Jack is a young 20-something out of work in the London of the mid-90s. His girlfriend has left him and he has been sacked from work. All his friends are doing OK.

Then he meets Rogue who he was at school with. Though a good guy who helps Jack out, Rogue is also a drug dealer.

Jack starts to use the Dream Kit and also to be part of Rogue's circle of friends. Dream and reality slip and slide into each other until a nightmare is unleashed.

The BBC compared this story to Trainspotting and therefore rejected it. It is actually more like a darker and more socially realistic Jumanji with hints of dream-reality stories like Fassbinder's World on a Wire and Nolan's Inception.

It was bounded by its low-budget constraints but its portrait of a time in London when mobile phones were hardly present holds great fascination.
