Virtual Nightmare is a 2000 made-for-TV horror film directed by Michael Pattinson and starring Michael Muhney, Tasma Walton, and Todd MacDonald. The story was conceived in 1995 when writer David Tausik read the Philip K. Dick novel Time Out of Joint.

Plot

In the future the world has seemingly reached perfection. Dale Hunter, a junior advertising executive, begins to question the nature of his reality when he is in a car accident and glitches start to appear in his vision. Seeking help from the local librarian, Wendy, the two discover that there are many things about their world, and indeed their lives, that do not hold up to close scrutiny. Dale makes repeated attempts to escape from the confines of the world he has known, with varying results.

Reception

John Ferguson of the Radio Times remarked "There are shades of The Matrix in this modest but rewarding sci-fi thriller."
