Der Nachtmahr revolves around a teenage girls whose been enjoying a summer of sex, parties and drugs in Berlin with her friends. Partying until all hours, she is shocked when every night, she is visited by an ugly creature. Disturbed as she may be, she soon starts to warm to the creature despite being thought of crazy by everyone around her. Is there a connection between girl and beast?
The film is a sleepy indie horror that’ll unmask our deep rooted fears as well as finding some sort of humanity in them. Creepy and extremely akin to films such as Eraserhead, Der Nachtmahar looks like intense horrific escapism.
