Review of Nightmares (1983) by Brian B — 25 Jan 2009
I love love love short story frame works for movies. This anthology is so great!
The first story is a typical urban legend story that makes you pacified in to contentment,.
Then WHAM!
Battle for Bishop starts fist pumping defiance, because you can't understand Emilio Esteves, and never will...until they make the Last Starfighter... then you can relate. The effects were straight out of my ol' Nintendo Virtual Boy (i'd love to play one again)... great ending!
Then it gets better with Lance Henriksen who is becoming more esteemed in my eyes with every viewing... this time, he battles a demonic monster truck. However, as great as that is, his falling from grace woodland dream wins the race.
And, what is a movie with out me crying... and I did for my dear sweet large rodent. The family of actors in this piece I want to take home (even it the dad is kinda mean). The mouse effects and a little girl yelling "Don't hurt her, she just wants her baby back!" has been haunting me for days!
