NIGHTMARE
MAN-2006-Ellen (Blythe Metz) sends away for a fertility mask because
she and her husband (Luciano Szafir, he kind of talks like THE ROOM's Tommy Wiseau) are having “intimacy” problems. She has a reoccurring dream
about the Nightmare Man, a devilish looking guy with horns. While they
are on their way to “a clinic” their car runs out of gas. Hubby
decides to go back to a gas station for help, leaving Ellen alone.
After a false scare or two she is terrorized by a hooded killer with
a knife who looks a lot like her worst nightmare.
While she is being
pursued in the woods (she has a couple of narrow escapes), two
couples play Truth or Dare. When Ellen finally reaches the cabin,
they call her husband who tells them she's crazy and there is no
killer. It's all in her mind. This proves to be the wrong info. The
killer quickly dispatches three of the young people leaving the
fourth named Mia (Tiffany Shepis) to fend for herself. Of course it's
all a plot by her husband who's hired a guy to kill her.
Surprisingly
Ellen turns into an EXORCIST inspired demon and takes revenge.
When
it seems like she's killed the demon Mia is raped by the evil spirit
and tells the late arriving police “it's inside of me”.
Writer/Director Rolf Kanefsky made his film debut in 1991 with
THERE'S NOTHING OUT THERE, a horror-comedy which part of this
resembles (except this isn't suppose to be funny) but takes a lot
from EVIL DEAD.
Thanks for reading!

I actually didn't mind this. It seemed to know it was just a trashy B-movie and did pretty much what was expected of it pretty much. I like Tiffany Shepis a lot too so that probably helped.
It just seemed to telegraph itself too early. As for liking a leading lady I can agree with that!
