IFC Films’ Nightmare, directed by Dylan Blank and starring Jason Scott Campbell and Nicole Roderick, hit DVD on September 29, 2009. If you haven’t seen the film and like good cerebral horror, check it out!
Review originally published on February 24, 2009.
Nightmare melds the real with the surreal in this bizarre mystery about a student filmmaker (Jason Scott Campbell) who has a one-night stand with an actress named Natalya (Nicole Roderick), but when they wake the following morning they find a camcorder setup at the foot of the bed that wasn’t there the night before. They decide to watch the tape, but their curiosity quickly turns to fear and confusion as they discover themselves brutally murdering people in that very same bedroom. In an attempt to understand what’s happening and also benefit from his recent experiences, the filmmaker turns his living nightmare into his next film while the nightmare continues to haunt him.

Chicago – I love IFC Films. They release such a diverse, interesting slate of films every year that one never quite knows what they’re going to get with each individual offering. Five recent IFC titles are the subject of the latest DVD Round-Up, our regular column drawing attention to titles that may have otherwise gone unnoticed.
Titles in this very arthouse edition of the Round-Up include a stylish horror film called “Nightmare,” a twisted thriller called “Pvc-1,” a puzzle of a story known as “Fermat’s Room,” an Icelandic movie called “White Night Wedding,” and an odd flick directed by Madonna known as “Filth and Wisdom”. Art film fans should check them all out. Keep IFC going as strongly as they have lately. But if you need more information, official synopsis, cast, and tech details follow.
“Pvc-1” and “White Night Wedding” were released on September 15th, 2009.

When it comes to horror movies, I know lots of stuff but I’ve never claimed to be cutting edge. That’s usually because I’m so busy mining the past and revelling in vintage terror trends that I often miss the current product when it first sees the light of the projector beam or small screen. But that’s okay. To paraphrase Charles Foster Kane, they’ve been making horror films for over 100 years and I’ve only been watching for 30.
So forgive the fact that in 2009, I’m only now getting around to raving about a blood spattered modern day surrealist shocker that was lensed in 2005. That film is Nightmare directed by Dylan Bank and co-written by Morgan Pehme and Bank and man alive is it aboslutely insane, sleazy, unnerving, bizarre and boldly berserk. In other words, my kind of horror film. Cerebral yet utterly, proudly trashy. Yum.

Despite its deceptively generic title, Nightmare is anything but a generic horror film. In fact, this is the horror film that fans who claim to be sick of Hollywood re-selling them the same old stories over and over again should be clamoring for.
But first, a caveat.
Writer/director Dylan Bank name-drops David Lynch early in the film, and Lynch's influence is obvious as the film careens from one plot twist to the next. Any fan of surreal storytelling and endings that defiantly refuse to wrap-up the film's events for the audience is in for a treat.
If this is not the type of film you enjoy, then this film is not for you.
The appeal of this film has less to do with the plot than with the experience of following the protagonist's diorienting descent into madness.
