Synopsis of Nightmares
Jenny Neumann, star of the cult/trash classic Mistress of the Apes, stars in this tedious slasher movie from director John D. Lamond. A little girl named Cathy tries to keep her mother from making out with a man while driving one day, and she inadvertently causes her mother's death in the ensuing crash. Sixteen years later, Cathy is somehow named Helen and has become a psychotic actress. Since her mother died with a shard of glass in her throat, Helen begins hacking through the cast of her new play, "Comedy of Blood," in similar fashion. This is a torpid, slavish slasher film where sex equals death (there is copious nudity) and Colin Eggleston's script equals boredom. Lamond further mucks up matters with the standard subjective-camera shots during the murders, which are doubly pointless here because the killer's identity is obvious from the beginning. There is, however, some nice music by Brian May. Lamond returned with the smarmy sex-comedy Pacific Banana. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide
