Nightmare a.k.a Nightmares in a Damaged Brain (1981)

Video Nasties Month just got nastier… And sleazier… And bloodier… This week on The Blind Rage Podcast, Tony and I sit down to watch Romano Scavolini’s 1981 splatterfest NIGHTMARE a.k.a. NIGHTMARES IN A DAMAGED BRAIN. Steeped in controversy, this slice of acquired taste is remembered by many horror fans due to its excessive gore, censorship, and false accusations of Tom Savini being part of the crew. Aside from that, there isn’t much going on here. The storyline is quite thin. A maniac escapes from an institution and goes on a killing spree, which leads him to Florida, where a woman who may or not be his ex-wife, and children who may or may not be his offspring, currently reside. I consider this to be in the same box as A SERBIAN FILM. Something for those who fancy themselves hardcore genre fans to see simply to satisfy their own morbid curiosity.
