Nightmare Museum

Another Tomb of Terrors film, another endurance test. This was certainly odd and awkward like if Carl J. Sukenick has directed Team America. It's more than half doll sex scenes and in a variety of positions. The voices are goofy and often mumbly. The doll gore scenes are quite interesting, sometimes consisting of food being moved with a fork or just food sitting there or people squeezing fake gore in their hands. The final robot battle is in front of a high-rise with Leroys Abortion Clinic on it. Appropriate as I imagine most women who've had an abortion had sex with a Leroy.

I went into this movie thinking it was just another Barbie doll sex romp. No. It was much, much more. Frequent images, such as fruit and plants, juxtaposed to oil cans and angry robots, while Barbies engage in intercourse, suggest how the purity of love making is lost in our sex obsessed culture, a rare statement to make in modern cinema. If I had a young daughter I would sit her down and watch Nightmare Museum, and then, afterward, have a long discussion about how she can take control of her confused sexual feelings, and hopefully she can make the right choices in life. In the end, I must say, thank you, Nightmare Museum. A quite significant film.
