Review – Nightmare

I know Hammer was an English company and all, but usually the folks who worked for it didn’t produce horror movies with quite this much what-is-it-Sebastian-I’m-arranging-matches factor. The whole ninety minutes here are devoted to one of those who’s-trying-to-drive-whom-crazy things. So naturally the story doesn’t amount to much. The picture’s biggest plus is its atmosphere. This is one of those murky British black and white jobs with the wonderful use of deep focus and lots of shadows. However, this look and feel has been employed to better effect in other productions. Mildly amusing
