Film ThreatBobby LePireJul 16, 2019
While there are flaws in some of the segments, it is overall a fantastic production that manages to be creepy as hell. For fans of anthologies, these directors, and horror in general, this is a great ride. Read full review

Nightmare Cinema as a whole is the bloodiest, most violent, most gruesome and most twisted movie I’ve seen this year. And I mean that mostly in a good way. Read full review

Nightmare Cinema starts with a bang, as Brugués drops us into a fun, clever, gory little ride. I was excited for the four installments to follow. I got less and less excited. Read full review

As midnight movies go, it’s not (more than) half bad. Round up some friends for a midnight movie date, designate a driver and…enjoy. Read full review

ObserverRex ReedJun 20, 2019
A horror anthology consisting of five episodes by different directors with more imagination than skill, Nightmare Cinema will make you scratch your head more than your goosebumps. Each story is designed and determined to scare the living daylights out of you, but I promise you more yawns than screams. Read full review
