There is nobody in the house so when Marianne awakes again she draws a boy at an upstairs window – a companion during her next dream visit. As it turns out the boy, Mark (Steven Jones) is also in bed in the real world – seriously ill with polio and unable to walk – and has now been pulled into her alternative world.

When she wakes up the next morning, she realises that the house she had drawn was identical to the house in her dream - she draws the stairs. Ali: I definitely felt like the helicopter and the note probably weren’t real. I felt like the film was implying that this was all a hallucination. But not that she was actually dead, I don’t think. Ren: I know, I can’t believe we used that joke on a previous episode when this one is literally about a house made of paper. Adam:It’s too late. But yeah, in the film Mark is dead but in the book he’s not. And in the film Anna and her parents go on holiday to a coastal resort and Anna sees a lighthouse in the distance, which is seemingly the lighthouse from the dream world. Ali: I guess it’s pretty significant that in the book by this point, Mark is recovering in the real world, and in the dream world he’s pretty much fine whereas that’s not what happens in the film.Maybe Marianne is travelling to another planet, or to the underworld where the dead are, or to purgatory, or a parallel excistence? The narrative doesn’t rule it out. Maybe the actual dreamer is elsewhere? Again, the narrative doesn’t rule it out. Adam: Oh heaven knows. I have a real fondness for curious 1980s films that don’t easily fit into any obvious genre designation. Like, ‘80s films that you can’t tell if they’re marketed for children or adults. I may literally have looked up: ‘80s films, probably inappropriate for children’. In comparison to what is shown today this was truly terrifying, and very imaginative. I've never read the book though. Their every movement is guarded by these menacing watchers that surround the solitary house. Together, in their dreams, Marianne and Mark must escape and save themselves. house. When she wakes, Marianne realises that the house in her dream was the house she’d drawn. Not liking the

Adam: There was a beach. It did remind me, reading the book, how much better board games have got. They have chess, and they’re like ‘we could draw Monopoly’ and then play two games of Monopoly in a row. I was like, God, two games of Monopoly in a row! I felt sorry for them. Adam: Yeah, that’s one of the differences between the books and films. In the books despite her, I don’t want to say (Adam puts on a sneering voice) ‘ineptitude’ at drawing, but despite the fact she’s just a kid, and she’s no child prodigy as the book says.Buy from our bookstore and 25% of the cover price will be given to a school of your choice to buy more books. *15% of eBooks.
