What is your worst nightmare? Being stalked by a deranged killer at a cabin in the woods? An alien spider invasion? A school full of demonically possessed girls? Plastic surgery hideously and malevolently gone wrong? All of these monstrous and bloody dreams are featured at the NIGHTMARE CINEMA. Under the evil management of The Projectionist (a creepy Mickey Rourke), this gory grindhouse lures patrons in by featuring their names on the marquee alongside the film’s title. Once inside, their deepest fears (or is it their inescapable futures?) are projected while they helplessly watch. The film’s five featured segments are wonderfully crafted by the hands of five different directors, each paying blood-drenched (and often witty) tribute to masters of horror cinema. References to classic films compete with flying body parts and arterial spurts for screen time, the results being a gruesome and nerve-shredding carnival ride through terror’s most revered cinematic themes. Queue up for your tickets, beloved horror fans, and pray your name isn’t on the marquee. —C.R.
