hinesgtrservice Wow, this movie was downright bad. From the acting to the score to the screenplay to the direction, just downright bad. I think the writer didn't realize that fertility deals with procreation, not libido. The biggest problem with this movie is apparent from the get-go. Generally in movies you pull for a hero, whether them likely or not. Films have protagonists and the audience is supposed to like or care for them depending on the context. In order for this film to work, we have to truly care for the well-being and safety of said protagonist. The character is terribly written; she's whiny, bitchy, and full of inconsistency. The actress makes it worse. She's just terrible. Literally unbelievably bad. The plot is weak, and the "twist" is seen miles away. Very obvious, yet it doesn't make much sense. The minor characters are fluff at best, and the "being" is hilarious. It isn't one of those, "so bad it's good" things, you actually find yourself forcing laughter at just how terrible this is. The score reminds me of shaking uncontrollably in a cold sweat. It's uncomfortable, annoying and headache-inducing. All in all, this movie is only worth a viewing if you're attempting to show someone how NOT to make a film. You could point out plot, screenplay, direction, cinematography, acting, characters, score, visuals, et cetera. There are times we are all tempted to watch something so horrible, we get chuckles. This is NOT that film. Just stay away if you know what's good for you.
morrigan1982 This was a really bad movie. Not parts of it, but the whole damn thing. What was this director thinking? The acting was so bad you can't even imagine. There were no emotions at all. The actors were responding the same way to whatever the director throws at them! They were in this film not for their acting skills but because they looked good in front of the camera! As for the script ... What script? Is there a script really? Were the actors allowed to make up the lines as the movie went on? Because their lines were so bad and corny that they had to be improvised! I don't understand how some people were able to laugh with this thing, I wasn't able to bring myself to do that.
Backlash007 ~Spoiler~Rolfe Kanefsky makes bad horror movies, but at least they are usually fun. Nightmare Man is a bit painful to watch. It's about a couple who receive a foreign fertility mask that the wife thinks is haunted by the titular Nightmare Man. She becomes increasingly paranoid that the creature is going to kill her and the husband eventually has no other choice but to commit her. But...on the way to the asylum they run out of gas in the middle of nowhere. While the husband heads out on foot for the gas station, the wife is attacked by the Nightmare Man. She has many narrow escapes before reaching a secluded home where we meet more cannon fodder characters for the slasher to maim and kill. Anyone whose ever seen a movie knows whose responsible for the killings almost immediately. It's in-your-face apparent so I'm going to tell you: it's the husband. Actually, the husband has hired someone to pose as the Nightmare Man to kill his annoying wife. However, much later in a laugh-out-loud moment, it turns out there really is a supernatural evil present. The movie starts to pick up here, but it's just too late and too silly. I should go ahead and admit I never would have watched this film if it weren't for Tiffany Shepis. I watch a lot of crap just to see her in action. But she's worth it. Richard Moll has a four minute cameo and Kanefsky shamelessly plugs his earlier film, There's Nothing Out There, on one of the lead's shirt. I thought that since this was a Horrorfest film, that the production values might look better than Kanefsky's other flicks. Nope, this one is just as cheap as his other efforts.
pu_ma Well, I've seen some movies from "After Dark Horrorfest" and over all, they've been pretty good. This title is not one of them. To summarize it: the worst move I've ever seen.Bad effects, worse script and even worse acting. I don't know whether I should burst out laughing or burst out in tears because of the bad acting. There's no commitment from the actors to their respective roles. They're just reading their lines and scream a little. Something that also makes me hate this movie is, as I've said, the bad effects. You can clearly see that this is a low budget movie. Personally, I love low budget movies and they can be pretty amusing and it's okay if the effects aren't the best, but hey.. at least try to make it look good.On the other hand, it was scary from time to time and it definitely gave me some shocks.Overall, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone really, except to a person that's really (and I mean really) bored. Other than that, a total waste of time.
