I remember watching the movie early this year on Tubi tv under cult classics. It started out with this man who was repeatedly waking up from a nightmare where someone was being killed. I think they described him as schizophrenic. There was also a scene where a little boy walked into his fathers room with an axe and killed the woman he was with. It was in color and looked old, 70s to 90s maybe.
