    AKA Nightmares in a damaged brain

    The first part of this film has a lot of screaming, the film (although pretty predictable) certainly seems more graphic than most horrors of this era and I?m sure is probably the reason for it?s ban. The original UK Distributor received a jai...( read more)l sentence for releasing an unapproved version.

    Not particularly a tense horror more of a shock horror for it?s time.

    Nightmare follows the story of a mental patient who is troubled with horrible nightmares from and up and escapes one day now he is on the streets and he just cant seem to help killing innocent people but there is one family he is very interested in yet when he tries to kill them ...( read more)he finds its not so easy i wonder why?. I found this to be a really cool movie in that cheesy 80's kinda way that most people will love and is worth checking out if you can find it loses half a star from four just cause it can get to be alittle to much into cheesy land for my taste

    This is one hell of a messed up and horrifying movie. It's a grim psycho-thriller that is very akin to Maniac. A schizophrenic serial killer is "cured" by doctors using experiment drugs and is released from an asylum. But when on the outside he commits various murders (all young ...( read more)girls) and becomes fixated on a certain family and stalks them. Sleazy is how best to describe this. Peep shows, explicit sex and nudity. Some extravagant gore scenes (I have read that Tom Savini acted as consultant) and a recurring scene of a young boy decapitating a prostitute and driving an axe into his Dads head. Is something that you will not forget in a while. I can only imagine that graphic killing by a young child this was the reason it became a video nasty? My only gripe with this film is the pace. It really does drag along in the second act. But if you are a fan of cheesy 80's slashers this is a must see.

    A weird blend of pure exploitation trashiness, odd dialogue, unintentional humor and very disturbing and serious film making. But most importantly: do you wanna go to McDuff's and get some fish?
