Not great by any stretch of the imagination. Even though there are some noticeably talented actors in the roles (Richard Chamberlain, Elizabeth Reaser and Mickey Rourke) the talent is offset by the number of less talented actors in the other roles. Some of the segments have a certain horror charm but the writing and acting is mediocre at times and the segments look more suitable for 20 minute Twilight Zone episodes rather than as a feature film. I did sort of like the segment in which a girl is having her facial scar fixed by Dr. Mirari (Chamberlain) and the segment called This Way To Egress about a woman who seems to be in a different dimension (Reaser). The rest I thought were more or less uninteresting although the segment called Dead does have one good jump scare. I also found Mickey Rourkes look scary although that has nothing to do with the film, rather the fact that he has teeth so white and so fake that they might scare you. Or maybe it's the fact that he looks orange.
Overall Nightmare Cinema has nothing really new to offer and is ultimately mostly forgettable. There are better horrors out there.
