All of them hit the button for the ground floor, and are surprised when the elevator continues its trip to the sub-basement. The elevator’s doors open on a well-set table, and the men all step out towards it, realizing after the elevator closes that it has no call button on their side. Figuring they have now ay out, anyway, the five men sit down at the table and begin talking. Their talk soon turns to dreams, and each of them tell of their own particularly vivid dream that they’ve each had. These dreams make up the meat of the movie: The first, "Midnight Mass", is of a man looking for his sister in a town where nobody comes out at night. The next, "The Neat Job", is about a man who marries a woman, only to have his neatly ordered life turned upside-down. The third, "This Trick’ll Kill You", sees a magician and his wife looking for a new trick to add to their act while visiting the heart of mysterious India. The fourth tale, "Bargain in Death", has a man faking his death for insurance money… too much more of the dream will spoil it for you, though. The last, and longest, of the stories, "Drawn and Quartered", is about a painter who obtains the power of voodoo to exact revenge on those who cheated him. ...».
