The movie is no grandiose or even noteworthy testament to anyones talent.

2.5
All of this leads to the dismal Dead, from Garris, a hideous little slice of I see dead people horror that simply doesnt work on any level.
Rogerebert
4.5
Its a lively if familiar exploration of black comedy body horror tropes, with a weak ending.
Variety
3.1
Which isnt to say that we dont form a relationship with these creatures.
2.0
Dante doesnt reinvent the wheel here, but Its a fun one, ripped from the pages of the classic creep show playbook.
Collider
1.5
Alas, thats the only laugh The Projectionist gets in this underdeveloped part.)
The Hollywood Reporter
2.0
However much we want Nightmare Cinema to be a rollicking slice of throwback horror, it only lands sporadic punches.

3.5
But thats OK, because as anthologies go big screen or small this one has an unusually high winning percentage.

Then theres Mashit, a Catholic schoolkid tale of demonic possession that goes above and beyond the sexually misbehaving monsignor (Maurice Benard of G ..
Rogers Movie Nation
3.0
Stuck in neutral, prizing oddity to a point where the effort loses all momentum and mischief.
Blu Ray
4.5
Its a great little exploitation short that is full of gore and craziness.
Film Inquiry
1.3
Each story is designed and determined to scare the living daylights out of you, but I promise you more yawns than screams.
Observer

At once goofy as hell, brutally violent and impressively heartfelt, One Cut of the Dead is an ingenious, chest thumpingly affectionate tribute to imag ..

This piece boasts energetic editing, with the pace never letting up.

Brugues short offers an impressively sharp and lively series of gags and surprises from beginning to end.

This one leaves you unsettled and you wonder where thats been prior.
Ner Dist
3.5
Nightmare Cinema works the format and brings legends together in a freakish, enthralling callback to similar anthology concept The Theatre Bizarre.

Straight
3.0
And sure, 80s Italian horror isnt exactly known for its tight plotting, but all the gleeful excess of the segment cant make it any more coherent.
Film Avclub
4.5
The short doesnt really make a whole lot of sense but is overflowing with style and sensuality.
Scifi Now
4.0
Dead (Directed by: Mick Garris) Another example of skillful execution of a tried and true idea serves as a fitting conclusion.
Cultured Vultures
3.0
One of the better horror anthologies to come along in a good while.
Assignment X
2.8
As uneven as many other horror anthologies, Nightmare Cinema offers enough surprises and indulgence in excess to entertain horror buffs.
Spectrum Culture
3.0
Add in a wraparound that doesnt quite work, and Nightmare Cinema is a mixed bag.
Bloody Disgusting
3.8
The movie doesnt ever try to be high art, so the sillier aspects fit in to the package quite well.
Hollywood News
4.5
Its affecting work, surprisingly tender in ways that horror doesnt often allow itself to be.
The Week
3.5
How Nightmare Cinema comes together is proof of exceptional teamwork and extraordinary planning.
Dread Central
2.0
Part slasher flick, part creature feature, Brugus short is campy and fun with the perfect dose of laughs and decomposing corpses.
Sa Current

Kitamuras Mashit offers the most compelling visuals and nothing else.

High Def Digest
4.5
Playing the pivotal projectionist, Rourke exudes a creepy, sinister vibe that perfectly demonstrates 80s nostalgia.
2.0
It is, quite simply, an exasperating mess, unredeemed even by the grindhouse thrill of copious gorings and disembowelments.
4.5
The biggest problem is that there just isnt a whole lot left to say that hasnt already been said in those sub genres.
Houston Chronicle

Nightmare Cinema brings together horror greats to create a variety of chilling tales to appeal to every kind of horror fan.

Dead has the most heart of the five shorts, and never sacrifices thrills and gore in this at times touching tale.
