Nightmares: Australia’s Answer to the Slasher Craze of the '80s
In this episode, we're taking a trip down memory lane with Brandon and Louis from the Gory Picture Show to discuss John Lamond's "Nightmares" from 1980. The conversation was nothing short of a riot as we delved into this cinematic experience, which may not win any awards for excellence but certainly keeps you entertained from start to finish.
"Nightmares," with its unique blend of horror and thriller elements, showcases the eccentricities of early '80s Australian cinema. Despite its shortcomings in terms of filmmaking quality, the movie is captivating with its peculiar charm and ambitious storytelling.
Join Brandon, Louis, and me as we explore the quirks, the behind-the-scenes trivia, and the reasons why "Nightmares," for all its flaws, remains a fascinating watch for fans of cult cinema. Whether you're in it for the nostalgia, the laughs, or just curious about this oddball piece of film history, this episode is packed with insights and lively discussion that celebrates the fun side of filmmaking.
While all of our episodes carry an 'explicit' label, I want to give a heads-up that this specific episode includes sexual content, which might not be suitable for all listeners.
