REVIEWS:

"Nightmare is an enormously entertaining psychological
thriller, filled with macabre imagery, spooky atmosphere,
and gorgeous black-and-white photography.
There are several scenes in the movie which depict mysterious
unknown figures wandering the darkened corridors of a large
stately mansion late at night. These scenes are strengthened
by the fine work done by cinematographer John Wilcox, who
deserves applause for creating some truly memorable and
scary images during the course of this motion picture.
Wilcox's eerie and shadow-laden cinematography
in 'Nightmare' is truly exceptional."
