For a two-hour movie, Nightmare Cinema offers few genuine pleasures and, sadly, more disappointments than a worthwhile horror anthology should have.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 2, 2022

High production value and diverse tales of terror make this a standout horror anthology.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Aug 17, 2019

The stories themselves have a surprisingly high hit rate, but the film is let down by its poorly thought-out linking concept.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 16, 2019

Its creaky connective tissue leaves much to be desired, but there's enough meat on these bones to warrant a casual viewing if you have time to kill.

| Original Score: 2.75/5 | Jul 16, 2019

Like all anthologies, some of the segments will speak more to other people and I think this one is well-rounded enough to give you a fun evening at the cinema.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 15, 2019

Nightmare Cinema brings together titans of the horror movie genre for one project exploring the dark side of life.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Jul 15, 2019

However much we want "Nightmare Cinema" to be a rollicking slice of throwback horror, it only lands sporadic punches.

| Original Score: C- | Jul 9, 2019

Like most horror-anthology features, this is a frustratingly mixed bag.

| Original Score: C- | Jul 5, 2019

An absolute must-see.

| Jul 3, 2019

One of the better horror anthologies to come along in a good while.

| Original Score: B+ | Jun 27, 2019

Stuck in neutral, prizing oddity to a point where the effort loses all momentum and mischief.

| Original Score: C | Jun 27, 2019

Overall, "Nightmare Cinema" is more stomach-turning than truly frightening, but thanks to the obvious love and care put into it, it's worth seeing.

| Jun 26, 2019

What sets "Nightmare Cinema" apart from other anthologies to come out recently is that there really isn't a slog of a segment to be found. They're all equally fun and weird.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 22, 2019

Nightmare Cinema as a whole is the bloodiest, most violent, most gruesome and most twisted movie I've seen this year. And I mean that mostly in a good way.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 21, 2019

The horror of the late 2010s is rich in variety, no mistaking it, but Nightmare Cinema encapsulates variety all on its own.

| Jun 21, 2019

[A] scattered but amusing horror anthology that gives five directors a whack at telling short, contained tales of terror, "Creepshow"-style.

| Original Score: B- | Jun 21, 2019

Nightmare Cinema starts with a bang, as Brugués drops us into a fun, clever, gory little ride. I was excited for the four installments to follow. I got less and less excited.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 21, 2019

Definitely check out Nightmare Cinema. It's got schlock, scares and scads of fun for all the anthology enthusiasts out there.

| Original Score: 3 | Jun 21, 2019

The whole is certainly diverse, lively and reference-packed enough to please horror fans attracted to this kind of enterprise...

| Jun 21, 2019

The best of the bunch start out unassumingly, then suddenly rip the scales from viewers' eyes - along with any attached hair and skin.
