Nightmare Man is one of the most awful low-budget horror flicks I´ve ever seen. It´s so weakly shot and lit that half the time I didn´t know what the hell was going on. One could dispute the fact that Lionsgate releases cheesy, low-budget flicks such as this to DVD on a weekly basis. The major distinction here is that they choose to release this film for a theatrical run as part of the second After Dark Horrorfest that crept into theaters for a weekend last fall. Nightmare Man has no business at all being shown on the big screen, let alone being branded and advertised as one of the "8 Films to Die For." The dreadful acting, pacing, high-school drama-class makeup, and sloppy plot devices in "Nightmare Man" aside, its main dilemma is the awful camera work and missing lighting.
I appreciate that the intent was to make a dark film, but there are complete moments of outdoor scenes where all I could see was one shadowy blob interacting with another shadowy blob. When things get real dark towards the middle of the flick it's nearly impossible to make out anything happening on screen. Edges are soft and the whole thing distorts when moving. At one point the killer sneaks in the direction of the camera dressed in what looks like a black spandex outfit and the tribal mask.
I truly wish I enjoyed the flick because I like the thought of giving the thumbs up to a small production instead of some faceless, corporate movie. Unfortunately this flick truly sucked!! Don't waste your money on this one.
