A murderous figure in a demonic mask stalks a woman from her dreams before materializing in the real world to do some bloody damage in director Rolfe Kanefsky's nocturnal tale of night terror. Unsuccessful despite multiple attempts to conceive, Ellen (Blythe Metz) and her husband, Bill (Luciano Szafir), order a mask said to represent the God of Fertility. Unfortunately, their hope for a child is soon snuffed out when a demonic figure sporting the very same mask begins to pursue Ellen in her
dreams. Increasingly disturbed by his wife's hysterical paranoia, Bill secures a room for his troubled wife at a nearby mental health facility. When Ellen and Bill's car breaks down in the woods en route to the hospital and the menacing figure from Ellen's nightmares emerges from the darkened trees, a retreat to a nearby cabin where Mia (Tiffany Shepis) is hosting a party with a collection of close friends sets the stage for a blood-soaked murder rampage that may or may not be the doing of a supernaturally charged killer. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
If there were a 99 Cents Store for movies, cheapo pic -- designed more for lonely male geeks in their teens and above than the date crowd -- would fit nicely on the shelves.
As Nightmare Man goes more and more off the rails, you almost have to admire it for the audacity of its awfulness. After a few drinks and LATE into a horror movie marathon, it could be the perfect B-movie for you.
This is from the 2008 Eight Films to Die for collection. Not a bad movie, kind of guessed who was trying to kill the insane girl, pretty easy plot. Great Slasher shots. Its the 2nd in the series of eight that I have watched and its better then the first film I watched, does that make sense, guess not. But its worth
watching.

Low low low budget horror. Nothing original, but not bad all things considered. Knows its audience pretty well. Takes a somewhat surprising turn into Sam Raimi Land, albeit without his sense of kineticism.
