Nightmares in a Damaged Brain - 1981

 Also known as Nightmare.

Very cool, another slasher and another decent Video Nasty!  Also a great title, the secondary title is what I put here, Nightmares in a Damaged Brain.

This is a very straight forward slasher, one of the ones where we know the villain and we understand the why, and at times those are harder to keep interesting because it gives us so much information at the get go and there's not the addition of a mystery to keep us watching.  A little boy watches his parents having some sort of weird BDSM sex and sees his mom kill his dad.  An incredible decapitating scene and we're off!

Cut to present time and that same kid has grown up, he gets out of a mental institution and immediately goes on a killing rampage.  And one thing I liked about this, as well as probably one of the reasons why it is labeled a "Nasty"?  Kids in trouble and kid death.  Gotta love it.  That and the blood.

This movie credits Tom Savini, which is apparently somewhat refuted but either way the effects are incredible.  Axe chops, knife stabbings, the aforementioned decapitation.  There's not a need for much more than that.  

Not a ton more to say about this.  Very enjoyable, very quick paced.  

Nasty meter 5/10

Agruments very slightly "For Video Nasty"
