Stylistically, it is reminiscent of some of those classic Hammer House of Horrors and Phantasm, and it does retain some good old cultish charm throughout.

Frightmare fumbles so many of the standard scare tactics that it's almost impossible to see where it gained such a supercilious legitimacy.

All fear the deadly ghostly apparition of a recently-dead horror actor! Or not.

Not bad for a cheesy '80s horror-comedy.

FRIGHTMARE is a short, unsatisfying horror "spoof" that struggles to maintain plot and give reasons for outlandish magically powers and stupid deaths.

Another night where I pick a streaming site and pick a random movie to watch. I didn't know much about Frightmare, but once I saw Jeffrey Combs in it I knew I was watching it. (https://foreverfinalgirl.com/frightmare/)

I am not sure I would say it was good but 1980s Jeffery Combs was hot and honestly what else could you ask for in a movie?

"Berbat" filmlerden özel bir zevk alanlar için kaçırılmaz bir nimet :) Benim pek tahammülüm yok.

It's a fun, old fashioned horror flick. Even if it's a little rote, it's still a good time. It's the kind of movie you'd expect to see Vincent Price in, in fact I think I did... it was called Madhouse.
