Truly Dreadful Film

Lack of good storyline.

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

A captivating tale of what lies in the shadows of our minds and how our thoughts and fears stop us from experiencing what our will wants to show us. Hows that? The movie script is very experimental. It doesn't play around with proved concepts but rather plays to your imagination for food of thought.What I thought about the movie was that it re-invented creepiness beautifully. The weirdness and sense of isolation that is carried thru the entire movie really worked for me and was essential to enjoy the movie all the way to the end.I loved the bizarre characters, scientific craziness and rustic places that the movie takes you to and meet. All in all, you just will not get a movie like this today which to me makes it a gem. Now all IMDb need to do is put the correct media/cover on this. Ho hum.

You gotta give "Nightwish" credit for originality. It depicts some college students who go to a cabin for an experiment, and get more than they bargained for. It does have the sorts of thing that one can expect in this sort of movie, but the scene with the tunnels was the really cool part. The professor looked kind of like Christoph Waltz.I guess that, once you get beyond the whole horror plot, the movie deals with the human subconscious (along with conspiracy theories about aliens). "Nightwish" is mostly your typical horror flick, but does contain some original stuff. It's definitely fun to watch.So remember what Wendell and Stanley said.

One of the most under rated campy films of the 80's. This film obviously influenced many episodes of X Files. Especially considering Carter cast two lead actors from the movie in the X Files.The video is grainy and washed out. The laser disc is a tiny bit better (but still full frame). If a nice transfer comes out on dvd I am sure it will age with grace. One of the best paranoia films of all time. You really don't know what's going to happen one minute to the next.Give it a try!

A strange and unnerving film, Nightwish moves among horror movie conventions the way The Player moves among genres. Never quite comprehensible, the movie follows its own associative logic while pretending to become, at various times, an alien invasion film, a mad scientist film, a ghost story, a beast-from--beyond-perhaps-it's-Satan-himself movie, and uncountable others. The acting is quirkily good, the writing witty, and the off-balance nature of the scenes allow the film to move between eeriness, gross-out horror, humor and an even odder element of eroticism--the latter supplied mostly by the lovely Alisha Das, whose character at times seems to treat the proceedings like an especially elaborate session of unnatural foreplay.
