Nightmare Ratings & Reviews
- jonathanmochrie−6 dThis was on the video nasties list of 80s UK. Until today, this was one of the few that I hadn't seen. Great opening. Gets a bit bogged down in the middle. Picks up again at the end. Like a lot of banned video nasties, the hype outweighs the whole movie.
- Kevin Ward2 juli 2025From the blood soaked opening moments, you’ll know exactly what you’re in for. This was great. Supposedly, on initial release Tom Savini was credited with make-up effects. He was apparently only a consultant though, and made them remove his name from subsequent releases. This certainly lives up to the video nasty label. One thing I love about 80’s movies is it perfectly captures parenting of the era where punishments ranged from “Go to your room until tomorrow” to “Go watch TV”. (I got a lot of the latter, obviously).
