nightmare man is a scary movie that is unfortunately not very scary. there are a few 'shock' sort've moments but they're not enough to save the rest of the movie.
the plot is about a woman who may or maynot be crazy; its an early easy setup that there's more than meets the eye about the terror that stalks the woman. its a little confusing because too much is left untold to determine how to relate the phenomenal and the more natural parts of the story. for instance her insanity is caused after she receives a rather ugly 'fertility mask' to help the couple get pregnant. but we learn later that in truth the masked man haunting her is a plot to kill her...except she is in fact possessed by a demon.
honestly by the end of this movie i could care less about the plot itself...its all done before and not particularly done well here...i was simply trying to enjoy it as a pointless slasher film. that's were this movie really fails. as a 'plot' driven movie it stumbles creatively. as a slasher film it only occasionally gives us a moment of gore and then expects us to sit through plot doldrums and poor attempts at wit (truth or dare games, anyone?!! they should be banned from horror movies. porn scripting? maybe.). in the end its tolerable but hardly good. younger kids might like the movie but then again parents wouldn't want their kids to see this kind've semi-soft porn antics laced on top of an otherwise tame horror film.
ps if you're interested in this because martin moll is in it....its a really really brief line or two in darkness (you can barely tell its him).
