The controversial 1981 sleaze classic Nightmare is getting a 4K blu-ray release from Severin. Doesn't appear to have an exact release date yet, just "late summer 2023".

Grungy and disturbing with an interesting insight into a psychotic mind going right off the rails. A slow burn that works quite well for what it is, a decent slasher atmosphere, some ok suspense sequences which all culminates in a climax that needs to be seen to be believed. I also like Eyes Of A Stranger - '81, which I find is an ideal compare and which is functionally suspenseful/scary in parts and more tightly reigned in. |
