Nightmares In A Damaged Brain (1981)
(AKA:
Nightmare)
My
rating 6/10
(click
on images below for larger versions)
A
mental patient who suffers from horrific nightmares escapes from an asylum and
embarks on a killing spree as he searches for a young
family.
Heavily cut in the UK back in the 80s but it still managed to
get itself banned as one of the video nasties. It remained on the list to
become one of the infamous final 39. It's a rare case where you can see why it
caused problems back then. It's very mean spirited, very gory and add to that a
healthy does of sex and sleaze and there was no way this was ever going to
avoid the list. Even the title gets your mind going as to what you're about to
see.
The
acting isn't great, although Baird Stafford is pretty good as the unstable
George Tatum. The gore effects are pretty good and there's some genuinely nasty
stuff here, including a slight detor into cannibal territory. Definitely not a
film for everyone as it's far to sleazy and nasty to be entertaining, but I've
always quite liked this one, so not sure what that says about me.
It's
quite dated in places which can be a bit offputting, but if you're looking for
some 80s nastiness then give this one a try. Just make sure you get an uncut
version, or as near to uncut as can be as there's lots of different releases
out there and not all are complete.
