So here we have a movie titled Nightwish from 1989. It features a bunch of no name actors, but it does feature Brian Thompson, the rugged looking bounty hunter from the x-files, and countless other films/tv shows. Basically, the plot of this movie is that a bunch of student head to a supposedly haunted mansion with their professor to research some reported ghostly phenomena and other weirdness. At the start of the film, you have students in a lab being subjected to isolation chambers where they have fucked up dreams and all that good stuff. Then shortly after that, they head to the mansion. From here, everything just falls apart. The setting is quite nice, the house certainly has an eerie atmosphere, but it can’t save the awful acting and confusing plot. We find out that there’s alien parasites that leech of human flesh and no one can be trusted… at one point I just stopped watching the movie and got distracted by how bad it was. Even when paying attention, nothing made sense, it was like watching a train wreck in slow motion. I was really hoping that it was going to follow the classic ghost story plot, but then it got all stupid and everything just caved in. Some of the special effects were quite good, a little bit of gore here and there… anyways, I don’t know whether to recommend this one or not.
A solid 1.5/5 from me… just too confusing…
