So, 'Nightmare' from 1990 is a bit of an oddity, really. It's a COI public information film, but it leans heavily into horror tropes, creating this unsettling atmosphere that’s kind of unique for its purpose. The pacing is all over the place; you get these intense moments that suddenly cut to more mundane scenarios, which actually heightens the tension. The practical effects are surprisingly well done for something meant to inform about fire safety—they really grab your attention, sometimes in a jarring way. It’s fascinating how they blend a serious message with a horror aesthetic. Definitely not your typical safety film, and that’s what makes it stand out in a collector’s library.
