Nightmare Man (2006)


Nightmare Man is one of the films from the After Dark Horror Fest 2007. Like most of the films shown it's rather cliched and low budget. The film centers around Ellen Morris, a women who orders a fertility mask to try and help her get pregnant. Shortly after receiving the mask she has a "dream" that she is raped by the Nightmare Man, a being that is wearing the mask. Her husband, William, and doctors think she's schizophrenic so William goes on a trip to a mental health clinic where the car breaks down on the way and the Nightmare Man returns. Ellen runs for her life and stumbles upon a cabin where she find four people spending the weekend, and they begin to get killed one by one.

Cliche city. Deserted road, the car breaks down and the man goes alone to find gas while leaving his crazy girlfriend in a car. Oh, and it's night. Now it's not as cliched as it sounds though as at the end it makes more sense and it's a little plot twist. But even though it's not what it seems it's still lame, you would have to be an IDIOT to actually stay in the car at night on a random road instead of going with your husband.

The acting is alright for a B movie. It's a horror movie so the standard rape scene is there, although it's short but we get a nice view of some big tits! The characters are generic also, the women in distress, the slut, the jock, the innocent but has a secret girl, and the badass. The most redeeming part of the movie is the slut basically naked, and then stripping more to get rammed. Alas this does not happen and with it our hopes for a decent part.

Overall it's a fairly lame movie. Some gore, some skin, some plot twists, but other then that it's a straight forward you know what's coming movie. Oh, and whoever plays the Nightmare Man is absolutely terrible. The voice is horrible, the movement is horrible, it's just terrible.

4/10
