Adam Nayman Cinema Scope 09/28/2017
On a formal level, the only thing that really distinguishes Der Nachtmahr is the thermonuclear sound design, which blows up every time the characters enter an underground night club. Go to Full Review Kathy Fennessy The Stranger (Seattle, WA) 12/01/2017
As the tiny monster becomes more visible, though, it also becomes more sympathetic. Go to Full Review Amanda Waltz The Film Stage 02/20/2016

It's better to just accept the film for the bizarre curiosity that it is rather than examine its intentions. Go to Full Review Luke Y. Thompson The Robot's Voice 11/14/2015
Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to have been a lot of thought put into things beyond, "E.T., but scary and German" Go to Full Review Jon Lyus HeyUGuys 10/02/2015

Akiz has crafted a film which may fall down a little when it comes to special effects but which soars in its depiction of life on the brink. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

11/13/2016 aburridora, lo único bueno fue la música. See more 10/10/2015 VIFF Review: "Der Nachtmahr(The Nightmare)" is not as terrifying as it sounds, yet, it has some creepy scenes, a unique premise, and an incredible style and soundtrack. This is a strobe heavy, bass pumping, loud and colourful flick that lands some of it's ideas while missing other opportunities that could have made this film a great one. It's less a Horror film and more a coming of age teenage drama about the struggle of being accepted amongst your peers, but with a unique twist. It's somewhat strange, it looks incredible, and it's loud, but the party stops there. See more Read all reviews
