The Nightmare Gallery

I liked it. I think most of the problems come from the story, but they did the best with what it is. It looks nice and the shots are cool. Nice effects. The dreams are really cool. The actors are great. I like the mental patient. He was fun. Perfect ending with Sam in the mental hospital. That eye! Thanks!

Sanjay (Rahul Parikh) obtains an original copy of "Thrice Greatest Hermes" in an anachronistic binding. He disappears because a book on religious philosophy has magical powers. Lesbian and Professor Rand (Amber Benson) seeks him out only to discover a lucid world between sleep and awake. Here must not try to bore us to tears, but fails. The film was build on unsound principles that they never connected. The acting was rough and dialogue wasn't good. They could have made the gallery look more like a gallery than my grandmother's house. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity. And Amber Benson looked like she needed a good shower the whole film.

I started watching this expecting an ANABEL other such modern big studio horror movie. That threw me at first, but after I put my preconceptions aside, I really enjoyed this. It reminded me of THE WHICH or IT COMES AT NIGHT in terms of pacing and slow tension. I can also see influences of old THE TWILIGHT ZONE or TALES FROM THE CRYPT. Nothing ground breaking, but solid 8 for me.

This picture is all about dialog and there is lots of it. The weakest part about this is the writing. It seems the authors suffer from the word salad affliction that a lot of new scriptwriters do, but the director and talent surprisingly make it work. Great creativity and framing. Purposeful and focused camera work. A valiant attempt at an indie production. Carry on, lads.

I've already watched it twice! My husband said "this is not a comfortable movie," which means it was near on perfect. If you like psychological horror and weird stuff you will love this movie!

It was recommended that I watch this by a friend of one of the filmmakers. I don't usually watch a lot of movies as that I'm more of a television series viewer. This very much reminded me of a series you may see on Netflix or Hulu and that's where it may have been better suited. I feel the filmmakers tried to pack too much into an hour and a half film. This content would have certainly been better explored over the course of 10 or so hours. Nonetheless I still enjoyed it and thought that cast did a stellar job. If you like intellectual drama that plays more like a television series than a traditional movie, give this one a go.

Subpar acting no character building no direction or plot No stimulating in any way.

An intersecting and thought provoking film. Most will not comprehend this art the first time through the portal. They don't know what to watch for or where to watch for it. Blalock is telling this story from a distant dream that requires you to shield your eyes from the blinding light and demands that you to feel for your next step. The second time through the film, the light dims slightly and one's eyes begin to adjust. One begins to understand the greater story. Pieces start to fit together. Clues become evident. Time and space slip slowly into alignment. The madness descends. This is not a movie to watch if you do not enjoy cinema that requires one ponder long after the credit song is stuck in your head. This is not for the lazy moviegoer. It's perpetual.

This movie is so awful that I could only watch 29 minutes of it and that was too long. Talk about awkward pauses. It wasn't even an "It's so bad it's funny" type of movies. It's just baaaad! Worst acting I've seen in ages.

Stop giving this movie low review because you hate that the main character is LGBTQ, I know middle America can't handle that but it's not even the focus of this movie. It's a good movie and Amber is great in it. Stop the hate and give it an honest watch. There is a lot to think about a process here.
