4.0 out of 5 stars Grimy Grindhouse Gem, 16 Nov 2004

By	Jerry Nuckolls (Phoenix, AZ, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Nightmare In A Damaged Brain (DVD) [1981] (DVD)

Great FX, though some bits are more realistic than others. A throwback to the days when slasher films were unrepentant and amoral(I mean that as a compliment). Garden variety story, preposterous subplot involving possible military usage of cure for homicidal psychopaths(which proves to be temporary, good thing or there'd have been no film), and sub-community theater acting combine to make this what all splatter films should be. This + "Cannibal Holocaust" + some friends & beer = grindhouse party!

5.0 out of 5 stars the best video nastie, 17 Jun 2002

By	fwah (england) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nightmare In A Damaged Brain (DVD) [1981] (DVD)

nightmares in a damaged brain is the best video nastie to have ever been made!the story follows a man who is having treatment in a mental hospital when one day he is released by mistake and stalks the streets of new york looking for victims to murder. this tale has an amazing twist at the end and the best decapitation scene in horror history.this is a must buy movie, but i warn you now that this is a cut version of the film and has roughly ten minutes taken out( but i've got the uncut version so i don't really care.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rubbish/crap, 16 April 2006

By	IG's "iggy" (Northumberland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nightmare In A Damaged Brain (DVD) [1981] (DVD)

This film is very poor... Rent it but dont buy it... I am really into horror/hammer/b-movies etc, but this a poor excuse...... No action, crap acting, poor story line, script is poor etc etc.... I was falling asleep at times.. Then why did I get this DVD??? I had heard it was a really good horror classic.. I was sadly disappointed... Sorry everyone but this is crap as far as horrors go.. low budget or not... I usually like low budget films but this was torture to sit through...
