And today wasn’t a total disappointment. We saw the last two movies we had on the list: Tooth & NailNightmare Man. Boy, was Tooth & Nail a let down. It had a somewhat star-laden of Robert Carradine, Michael Madsen, Vinny Jones, and Rider Strong (who died, again). It was a post apocalyptic movie set in Philadelphia and there are two kinds of people: foragers and rovers. Rovers are cannibals — and looked like any actor from a medieval movie — and foragers who were everyone else. It was 94 minutes of slow moving story and very little interest in the characters. all of whom except one had no back story. The only character with a back story was Neon (all the foragers are named after car models) and even then, hers was not terribly interesting. I want my $9.25 back for the movie.
Nightmare Man was, much to our surprise, the campy cheesy horror movie that I thought was missing from the line-up (Horrorfest 2006 didn’t have any) and it delivered on all levels. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing, start to finish. It was very campy and cheesy and even had Tiffany Shepis of Troma fame as a somewhat major role in the movie. I’ll be buying this on DVD because it was that enjoyable. The story is a possession/revenge story that has a good twist at the end (and a cameo from Richard Moll!).
