    FEATURE. Film critics frequently relate After Hours (1985) and Miracle Mile (1989) to nightmares. But what is it about them that evokes an impression of the nightmarish? Drawing on cognitive studies of film, Katherine Spring first explains how the two films facilitate spectarial alignment and empathy before analyzing how their narrative designs elicit affective states that resemble those we experience in nightmares.
