3.0 out of 5 stars A Predictable Nightmare Man, January 19, 2009

This review is from: Nightmare Man - After Dark Horror Fest (DVD)

The first thing I want to say is that I did enjoy this movie. It was a clever blend of Evil Dead, a revenge plot and standard gore fare. This is by no means a putdown as overall I did find this movie entertaining. Was it great? No. Was it horrible? No. So what was it about you may be asking, well, the premise of the film is that a woman orders a fertility mask for her husband because he can't seem to get it up. Maybe he needs some Extenze or Viagra, but no it's a fertility mask that supposed to correct this issue. Whatever, it's horror it doesn't always have to be plausible. She freaks out when she sees the mask and wants it out of her sight.

Anyway, she and her husband start on a vacation to get away for a while when the car runs out of gas. He goes off hiking to get some gas and she is attacked by someone in this mask, there is more build up to this but essentially that's when things start to go haywire.

From there we are treated to a lot of gore murders and some really goofy lines by a group of people that are staying in a cabin close by playing some erotic truth or dare games. Our lady stumbles upon this party and then the plot starts to unwind.

Things I liked about this flick:
Fast Moving - Decent Special Effects - Comedic Scenes - Some Surprises

Things I didn't like:
Poor Lighting - many scenes seem completely washed out and it makes it hard to see what's happening
Predictable Plot Overall - having seen my share of horror the plot is obvious from early on but there is a surprise

I would recommend this movie though if you want to have a fun time. It's not fantastic but it will provide some entertainment for it's running time. This is also one of the few discs that actually provides you with behind the scenes and more. It looks like the cast and crew had fun shooting this and the bonus footage is fun to watch.

Check it out, it's not a masterpiece but it is a nice distraction.

4.0 out of 5 stars You Really Weren't Expecting A Classic, Were You?!, August 19, 2009

The After Dark horror series remains a mixed bag. I haven't seen all of them, but the handful I've seen have been just OK at best. That is until I saw "Nightmare Man".
Sure, it's low budget(all the After Dark films are), but it's a fun variation on the slasher genre. A lot of the reviews on here complain about the acting. In actuality it's not bad for a low budget horror movie. Does anyone really expect Oscar worthy material in a movie called "Nightmare Man"?
In short, "Nightmare Man" is a campy, occasionally clever little film. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and it moves along at a good pace. What more can you ask for in a LionsGate video? More movies like this, for starters.

Not a bad horror flick, and worth a rental. Neat-ish story line that centers around a woman who seems to have a significant mental disturbance that could be a disturbance, or is there really a bizarre killer on the loose? The story is not necessarily that difficult to figure out, but it moves quickly, has a few amusing scenes and is a very watchable film. As is the case with most non-mainstream horror, the ending does get a little (or perhaps more) cheesy, but that's SOP for films. Worth a rental, not necessarily a buy.
