备受梦魇折磨的年轻男子让·伯洛特（帕沃·里斯卡 Pavel Liska饰）反复做着同样一个梦境：两个恶魔闯进他的卧室，把他推进了疯人院。心力憔悴的伯洛特偶遇神秘侯爵马奎斯（杨·特里斯加 Jan Triska饰）。这个扬言要救治伯洛特的怪异侯爵，引诱伯洛特来到一间阴森恐怖的疯人院。黏着的空气，病态的疯人，黑暗之中穿插的“生肉表演”以及一系列令人作呕的放荡作为，让失魂落魄的伯洛特彻底崩溃了。当他从看似纯美的护士夏洛特（安娜·吉赛罗娃 Anna Geislerová饰）口中得知院长和侯爵的丑恶的面目时，这场炼狱般的噩梦才刚刚开始。　　这部由捷克电影和动画大师杨·史云梅耶创作的超现实主义作品《梦魇疯人院》，荣获2005年皮尔森电影节最佳影片，2006年捷克金狮奖最佳艺术指导、海报设计等奖项，并代表捷克参加2007年奥斯卡最佳外语片的角逐。史云梅耶在开篇就警告世人，这是一部考验你视觉极限和挑战你心理极限的反美学的影片。他以此片向死亡美学大师爱伦·坡和色情作家萨德侯爵致敬。骇人的生肉与内脏，悚然的仪式与噩梦，一起构筑起了这座彻底癫狂病态的梦魇疯人院。
