DVD review: A Fucking Cruel Nightmare (2010)


A man is haunted by nightmares. In these nightmares, he watches a masked killer kill several people. Now the question is whether it really is nightmares or if it´s more than that.
A Fucking Cruel Nightmare is directed by Sebastian Zeglarski and it´s one of those extreme independent films from Germany... The only goal with A Fucking Cruel Nightmare is to show scenes of gruesome gore, violence and depravity. No plot and no dialogue, actually the only words you hear are "What a fucking cruel Nightmare". We learn nothing about the characters, they are just there, making them absolutely insignificant. The production itself is not that bad, the soundtrack is not bad in itself, but remains the same and is therefore boring. It´s pretty well shot and edited, The special fx are pretty good. Some effects are rather simple but many effects are impressive. People are killed a rod, a hammer, fists, suffocated, stabbed, decapitated, dismembered and tortured with nails. There are tools such as chainsaws and drills are used...... There are some shocking and provocative scenes in this, it´s not for the squeamish!

The review is based on the DVD released by Maximum Uncut Pictures, it´s uncut and it´s part of a limited release of 500 copies. I bought mine from Dvduncut.com/ .
Rating: 5 out of 7. I was very pleasantly surprised but the entertainment value is limited. There is nothing more than one death scene after another and about halfway through the film it gets pretty monotonous and boring. However, if you like splatter and gore, this film will not disappoint.
