Nightmare

About This Movie

Nightmare (2020) is a peculiar entry in the horror genre—has a distinct tone that really leans into the surreal. You’ve got this woman, right, who’s ensnared in what feels like an inescapable nightmare, and the pacing kind of mirrors that frantic feeling of being trapped. The practical effects are interesting, they add a raw, visceral quality that CGI just can’t replicate. I appreciate how it explores themes of fear and isolation, and it does so without getting too heavy-handed. The performances are decent, they convey a sense of dread and desperation that pulls you in. It's not the most polished film, but it has an atmosphere that kind of lingers with you after the credits roll.
