Leave your thoughts about Nightmare Cinema.
| Film ThreatBobby LePireWhile 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. |
| AV ClubKatie RifeNow, Garris’ unflagging enthusiasm for uplifting his fellow creators has found a new manifestation: Nightmare Cinema, a sort of sideways revival of the Masters Of Horror franchise. |
| Screen-SpaceSimon Foster[Delivered] by Garris and his peers with a true understanding of a horror fan's fixation. |
| Film InquirySean FallonEach movie is a tight length and each contains enough wild ideas and moments to hook in an audience no matter what kind of horror they like. |
| SciFiNowJustine SmithThis is not necessarily any better or worse than your average anthology film but such a high calibre of talent does make that conclusion especially frustrating. Still, for horror fans there will be at least one gem here to make the journey worthwhile. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperNightmare 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. |
| Dread CentralZena DixonHow Nightmare Cinema comes together is proof of exceptional teamwork and extraordinary planning. |
| HighDef DigestDeirdre CrimminsThe flow, from funny to ultimately quite heartbreaking, shows the range of these directors as well as the scope that horror can span within a single genre. |
| SlashfilmMatt DonatoNightmare Cinema works the format and brings legends together in a freakish, enthralling callback to similar anthology concept The Theatre Bizarre. |
| ColliderHaleigh FoutchA stronger-than-average anthology with some good-to-great material worth checking out... |
