The Nightmare (2015)
4/10
The Nightmare never ends
4 March 2018
The Nightmare begins with Tina and two of her friends heading to a rave. At the rave, where she is letting loose, she sees Adam, somebody who she apparently wants to stay far away from. She is also shown a video of a woman being run over by a car. After drinking too much, and getting back to the car, she realizes her necklace is missing. Seeing the necklace on the road, she goes to collect it, and is herself hit by the car. Next we know she wakes up inside the car.

Sounds like the start of a pretty good time-loop movie. But, focus then switches to strange sounds and things Tina hears. Are they in her head? Are they real? are they both? Is anything what it seems?

In trying to bring both of these ideas together, the movie loses the plot a few times, and the viewer is left wondering what is actually supposed to be going on. Some scenes stretch on for too long, while others aren't long enough. Add to this scenes which are cut like a rave, and it's all too much to make any sense.

It truly is a shame, as the nightmare probably does have two pretty decent concepts in there. Unfortunately they're totally lost when shoved together.
