Nightmare in Blood

I find the above, or below review, depending on where they place this, of not much use. I actually am a horror fan, and I did feel this movie was made for me. This is a bad movie written and directed by horror movie host John Stanley. Of course, probably over 90% of the horror movies I've enjoyed throughout the years are bad movies. If you're not real fan of the genre or just enjoy finding an oddball offbeat piece of crap to watch once in a while, you'll hate this. It's not made for you, anyway. Move on. But pointing out the obvious that this is a bad film seems like standing outside a burning building long after the fire department has arrived and yelling fire. This bad movie is plenty good in my estimation and worth a look from any real horror fan.

I agree with the other reviewers who said this is a well made homage to horror movies by movie host John Stanley. I never heard of this one, but found it on the Cinema Insomnia channel on YouTube and it was a delight to watch it hosted by Mr. Stanley himself. Maybe a few decades of horror movies with production values borrowed from mainstream movies has raised expectations too high for the occasional horror movie consumer and the cheesy crap loved by true horror geeks disappoints them. As someone who grew up watching really bad but entertaining sci-fi and horror movies like Plan 9, Crawling Eye, all the Universal monsters,,etc., Nightmare in Blood was a lot of fun.

This is dull, dull as hell. I can't say there is a single thing to recommend it. Is this supposed to aimed at horror fans? Count me out. Films like this give films a bad name.

I figured this was a fairly light-hearted horror/comedy made by and for horror fans, one of which I am.

But about two-thirds of the way through it appeared that somebody thought it would be a good idea to include film -- real film footage -- of one of humanity's greatest real-life horrors, the Holocaust.

I disapprove of that decision because that ghastly footage was being exploited by filmmakers in order to add shock-value to the movie.

After that, there was no way I could take any enjoyment from this film.

Horror movies ought to be escapism and the real horrors of the Holocaust ought not be exploited as they were.

This film has a little of everything for fans of horror films, comics, horror conventions,and the like. It has that 70's feel to it and a lot of fun to watch. If your a fan of low budget shockers, it's right up your alley. Just set back on a stormy Saturday night and get ready for a Creature Feature.
