BaronBl00d Somehow a woman working with a scientist puts round metal balls into people's mouths that supposedly changes their personality but in reality turns them into crazed, zombie-like killers. The "guinea pigs" for the experiment are scantily-clad, nubile young women in desperate need of acting lessons. This movie is awful, atrocious, and amazingly bad. It has little to no logic in the script. You really will have trouble following what is going on. It has no special effects. The computer screen that is supposedly representing a huge scientific advancement looks nothing more than an old Atari screen. And what is even worse is that there is also a puppet with strands of felt hair(looks like a lonely kid at summer camp made it) named George that is like a personal servant/confidant to Jessica(the leading "actress"). Throughout the movie you will be subjected to the idiotic, sophmoric utterings of this puppet. But wait...you also get loads of softcore, unerotic, barely nude scenes with the girls with some bar guys. All the while a most annoying soundtrack plays in the background like some kind of spiritual discovery has taken place. None of the actors are good. There are just varying degrees of bad. The gore and "horror" aspects are especially ineptly filmed. The film really looks like an adolescent put it together. No coincidence Henry Sala, the director by name but not by trade, has not made another film. I was bored almost into a coma watching this stupid, silly, dreck! And how bout the ending? What happened? If you know let me in on the secret because for the life of me I cannot figure it out. All I know is that I lost the time spent watching this garbage that made the beginning of my weekend a real nightmare of a bore!
mlvngstn238 This brilliant horror film is very thought-provoking, far beyond the grasp of many close-minded people who just don't understand its deep meaning. It is a spectacular low-budget account of the dangers of putting our hands into technology and the ultimate price we pay. The theme of technology vs. human nature is far ahead of its time. It features many themes on various levels, including science fiction, a touching teenage romance, moments of ghastly suspense, complemented, of course, by blood, gore and nudity..all intertwined brilliantly by the directorial genius Henry Sala. Besides, how can anyone not like a movie where the skin from a guy's face burns off in the first five minutes? On a serious note, the fight scene in the park are choreographed very well. The script is a masterpiece, obviously. Overall, a definite necessity for any horror movie fan. Easily one of the most overlooked and underrated movies in the history of cinema.
MillBay This could be a candidate for one of the worst movies I have ever seen. There it was for sale in the previously viewed section of my local video store. "Hey, I can own this for only $3.99!" For the same price I can buy my favourite brand of dental floss, and likely derive more pleasure from flossing my teeth than watching this mess. This movie was not scary at all, and not one of those "so bad it's good" type either. It was cheap, dull, and I apologize to the others who watched it with me. I am sorry for taking away a few hours of your life that you will never get back. STAY AWAY FROM THIS DREADFUL GARBAGE!!!
alchemy When I saw The Godfather with a friend and liked it, he suggested that I go and see Nightmare weekend....I don't know why. He just did. Anyhew, The Robot/Handpuppet named George steals the show in this Horror classic. The way he talks in the disturbing monotone voice gives you nightmares for weeks. And oh, the gratuitous sex scenes are simply amazing. Overall I give Nightmare Weekend a 10.
