Review: Five Masters of Horror Welcome You to the Nightmare Cinema

Each filmmaker brings something truly unique and different to the table in this long-awaited horror anthology.

Nightmare Cinema follows a series of down-on-their-luck individuals who enter the decrepit and spine-chilling Rialto theater, only to have their deepest and darkest fears brought to life on the silver screen by The Projectionist – a mysterious, ghostly figure who holds the nightmarish futures of all who attend his screenings. By the time our patrons realize the truth, escape is no longer an option. For once the ticket is torn, their fate is sealed at Nightmare Cinema.

The horror anthology's five unique stories and their respective directors are as follows.

The Thing in the Woods - Directed by Alejandro Brugués
Mirari - Directed by Joe Dante
Mashit - Directed by Ryûhei Kitamura
This Way to Egress - Directed by David Slade
Dead - Directed by Mick Garris

Nightmare Cinema is available now on VOD and will arrive on Blu-ray and DVD on September 3rd, 2019 with a Shudder-exclusive streaming premiere coming later this year. Stay tuned to Dead Entertainment for more coverage on this film as it happens.
