Okay... probably wrong place, but...
Okay... probably wrong board here, but horror fans might be able to help here.
I seem to remember seeing a horror movie with a detective in it. Weird crap is happening in the town (sorta like Jacob's Ladder), and later on you find out that there's this sadist doctor who's been literally poking the guy's brain and inducing lucid dreams of all this weird stuff... anyone know what movie I'm talking about here?
