A lot of fun.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

~Spoiler~ Nightmare on the 13th Floor is a film that can be summed up in one word: tame. When I picked this up at the video store I had no idea it was made for television in the early nineties. Judging by the cover art, I thought it was an 80's slasher. Not so my friends. When the cheesy title screen reared its ugly head, I knew this was no obscure gem. Now, it's not a horrible movie. It's more like a murder mystery than straight-up horror. Michele Greene plays a writer who reviews hotels and travel locations. She's currently checking out the Hotel Wessex when an elevator accident leaves her stranded between floors 12 and 14. Where's the 13th floor you ask? It doesn't exist...or is that what we're supposed to believe? Our heroine witnesses a murder on this floor and can't explain it to the hotel staff or the cops. So, naturally, she becomes Nancy Drew-esquire and decides to investigate. Her findings lead her deeper and deeper into the history of the hotel and the 16 bloody murders that happened on the 13th floor. Are the new murders related? I'll spoil it for ya: Yes, they're related. The hotel staff is in on it and the killer is pretty dang obvious. James Brolin and Louise Fletcher co-star.

Another made for USA television horror movie made in the early 90's. This one is about a reporter who tires to find out why all the guests of a luxury hotel keep disappearing after she thinks she witnessed a murder taking place. Solid supporting cast is given almost nothing to do, but stand around and be bored. Totally devoid of entertainment value and sorely missing any thrills or chills. Rated PG-13 for Violence.

My friends decided to pick up a cheesy horror movie to watch, they really picked a lame one this time.Most horror bad movies are a lot of fun because even though they are bad they have a lot of cheesy blood and monsters to keep you interested and keep you and your friends laughing, this is only rated PG13 so no interesting blood or gore, you never really see people get killed on camera till the very end.Two of my friends passed out 20 minutes into this crap and the only thing keeping me going was my desire to see as many bad horror films as possible.If you can get this for free I guess you could fast forward to the ending but other then that stay away, anyone that rates this higher then a 4 needs to watch some real horror movies.If you want to see horror that is bad in a good way I would recommend you get Sleep Away Camp, or Demons, enjoy :)

That's the charm of this movie- it's older and it's perhaps not the best of it's genre, but it is /classic/. The sets and settings are just right to get those little chills going. We all know it can't happen that way (and there are enough plot holes to prove it), but we're still afraid of just that sort of thing happening... it's a big, giant, CREEPY 'what if'... Sometimes people are scarier than the supernatural!
