    Low low low budget horror. Nothing original, but not bad all things considered. Knows its audience pretty well. Takes a somewhat surprising turn into Sam Raimi Land, albeit without his sense of kineticism.

    This is from the 2008 Eight Films to Die for collection. Not a bad movie, kind of guessed who was trying to kill the insane girl, pretty easy plot. Great Slasher shots. Its the 2nd in the series of eight that I have watched and its better then the first film I watched, does that ...( read more)make sense, guess not. But its worth watching.

    Nightmare man is another in the 8 films to die for series that started coming out a few years ago at the end of each year this one follows the story of a wife that is given a mysterious mask one day and later comes to believe she was somehow attacked by a evil spirit known as the...( read more) nightmare man her husband of course thinks she is crazy and on the way to the mental hospital there car breaks down leaving his wife all alone he goes in search for gas thats when the nightmare man appears real or fake she takes off into the woods where she stumbled upon a group of friends in a cabin and they are all now in danger, I usually give any of the 8 filmes to die for a chance just like i did this one but it had very little good goin for it and alot of bad which started with the acting being so cheesy watch at your own risk.

    Fun movie from the director of The Hazing. I was worried at the beginning that the audience would be forced to follow the moody, whining and constantly complaining wife (though she has reason, it's just not fun to watch) through the whole film, but thankfully the film also follo...( read more)ws a group of goofy mid-adults. Fun deaths and Evil Dead homages abound in this constantly watchable horror flick and one of the best of the After Dark horror series.

    Such a B movie. It was trying to be scary, but the acting was so cheesy, and the story was bit lame, at least until the end. It's worth a watch for the curious ones.

    Nightmare Man is one of those films that you do not know what to make of when it ends, because it was painful to watch, but you recognize there were a few cool things. From the beginning of the film I was expecting the characters to start having sex and for the movie to become a ...( read more)cheap porn. That's the way it feels, the atmosphere of it and the way it was shot. The acting of all the actors, but specially from the main character is absolutely terrible, it was like watching, again, a porn or an infommercial. I guess its major merit is that it keeps you intrigued, interested on what is really going on with this girl and the demon. By the end of the film you realize that the girl's husband is the one that wanted to kill the girl and that the demon is an assassin he hired, had it ended there it would've been predictable, but ok. But they had to overdue it and turn the girl into the actual demon and kill everyone that remained, then the demon gets out of her body and goes into the body of the other woman through her vagina, which was not only ridiculous but kind of obnoxious. Then they show the woman in a psychiatric clinic, now turning into the demon and the movie ends... The setting on that final part looke appealing, I mean, the shots, but the film itself was so obnoxiously painful that the little good it had becomes overshadowed.

    A lame amatuerish film, with virtually no redeeming qualities.

    I think this movie should've been named Nightmare Woman. Spoiler alert.

    I personally do not think you get worse than this. Nightmare Man was an utter disappointment and it is beyond me how this got on the After Dark Line up. So the plot is based around this woman who is suffering from nightmares and is terrified of the man in her dreams who she calls...( read more) the "Nightmare Man". Well she is convinced that he is real and her husband is convinced that she is crazy so he is taking her to a mental hospital. But on the way they have car trouble so he is forced to get help and leave her there. Soon the Nightmare man comes after her and she is forced to take shelter in a cabin full of friends on a weekend getaway that soon turns into a bloodbath. Full of cheesy dialogue and cheap scares I found it immensely difficult to sit through this nightmare. Starting with the acting, you get generic over the top performances from the entire cast. I don't think there was one true actor in this film. Gore, this was one of the only reasonable things in this movie. You get an impalement, an arrow through the mouth, a knife through the head, and a bit more. Soundtrack, you get a pretty standard slasher soundtrack but nothing great. How someone ever agreed to make this movie is mind baffling to me. There is literally no point. You sit there wondering "is this going anywhere"? And the ending they were going for this big mind blowing ending but it was just as dull as the movie. Bottom line Nightmare Man was a horrible film that doesn't deserve one ounce of the credit that it has received. I say skip it.
