    Plastic surgery is best story in here !

    It is a kind of horror movie. Five different persons connect in a lonely cinema hall where they can see their own secrets and sins in different way. All five stories having a lot of blood sequences rather than interesting story plots. Only one story of plastic surgery of a woman to look good for his fiancée is interesting and we can feel real horror with anxiety. Rest four looks wastages. So my recommendation is that it is not much suggestive. If you want to kill time with some meaningless horror then go for it. But you want real value of your time then avoid.

    Mick Garris Rallies the Horror Masters Again

    Aw, yeah! This is a pretty good anthology for a Saturday night watch. Garris and company know how to bring the fun to the horror, which is what got me into horror films in the first place. My favorite horror films all have a sense of fun: Waxwork, Nightmare on Elm Street 3 - Dream Warriors, Lost Boys, etc. It's gotta be scary AND fun to get me hooked and coming back. Mick Garris is well aware of these dynamics, and they show in Nightmare Cinema.

    While not as precise and crafty as Garris's Masters of Horror (which remains his defining work as a director and producer), this feels in the same vein, and in the same universe. If you're a fan of the masters, of 80s horror, Nightmare Cinema delivers the goods. I'll always get excited for anything that has Mick's name attached. He's a legend in the genre, and it's great to see something new from him.

    Underappreciated

    A satisfying low-budget movie that does many things right with unexpected twists and clean choreography. There's a clear understanding of technique and an entertaining experience. The pace slows in segments, but I've seen movies with bigger budgets that tell more cliched stories.

    CGI should be banned

    It's not too shabby of a comedy horror flick but all the blood and guts rely on CGI and it really takes away from it. I have more fake blood than this movie does. And what bloood it does have it looks like watered down paint. Maybe I'm just too old school. But if there was no CGI it would have been 8/10 easy.

    Horror anthology for fans only

    If you liked Masters of Horror, then you're in for a fun ride with Nightmare Cinema. Its always a good time when directors don't have producers constantly trying to ruin their movie. Don't miss if you're a fan.

    • Trivia
      Orson Chaplin, who plays the murderous carjacker Jenkins, (In the "Dead" segment by Mick Garris) is a direct grandson of Charlie Chaplin.
    • Goofs
      APPROXIMATELY 7 min into the movie, The Thing In The Woods segment, when Officer Carter panics, runs, trips and falls down, accidentally discharging his REVOLVER, that never should have happened because he had JUST emptied his six (or less) round handgun using six shots at the "welder" to put him down.
