Review – Nightmares

As horror anthology movies go, this one’s not half bad. It leads off with an urban legend: the story of the psychopath in the back seat. Then you get Emilio Estevez, before he became famous, as a video game addict who gets way too caught up in his favorite machine. The third tale is an odd little rehash of the evil car plot, with Lance Henriksen as a faithless priest pursued by a demonic 4x4. I find the final vignette hard to watch. It’s the story of the battle between a suburban family and a monster rat, and it involves a little more animal suffering and death than I generally like to have to sit through. That aside, however, this is a fine example of the sub-genre. Mildly amusing
