Janet has been sent home from her residential school due to her being constantly plagued by horrible dreams. It's hoped that a rest might help, but it's also very natural that she's having troubles, as only six years earlier, she witnessed her mother going on a bloody rampage! Janet is worried that she, too, might be losing her mind. Unfortunately, there are those out there that might just be helping to speed up this process! Exactly what happens next is pretty exciting, but I won't say more, as I don't want to spoil the suspense and many cool twists.
Now if you are looking for a subtle film, then this might not be it! Like STRAIGHT-JACKET, the movie has many great suspense elements but also is a bit of a guilty pleasure because of the extremely intense and LOUD acting! Also, like DIABOLIQUE, the film has so many good plots within plots that you're never exactly sure who's orchestrating what. Additionally, there are also story elements that are highly reminiscent of HUSH, HUSH SWEET CHARLOTTE. If you like any of these films, then you'll no doubt like NIGHTMARE.
A wonderful script and a great mood make this Hammer suspense film a terrific film for lovers of suspense.
