Review of Nightmare at Noon (1988) by Tim S — 28 Mar 2013
When you talk about remakes, lots of different films come to mind as examples, but one that will now come to my mind more prominently than before will be Nightmare at Noon, which is a remake of the film Mutant by the same director.
This awful movie feels like a clone of The Crazies and a pre-cursor to 28 Days Later. Not that those comparisons are justified, mind you, but they popped up in my mind now and again. The film seems to have been stitched together with good intentions, but ultimately, with bad results.
The acting, the cinematography (I'm thinking it was shot open matte because I noticed the camera's top visor in shot a couple of times), and not to mention the unnecessary use of helicopter duel footage, the movie is pretty bad.
One redeeming thing though is that the crew at Rifftrax did a hilarious take on it. Otherwise, not good.
