Dr_Drew_Says Nightmare Weekend (1986): The Good, The Bad and George Synopsis: To take a stab at the real plot, I think it was about a woman that is trying to steal technology from a device used to change personalities in animals by making them eat weird silver balls and use that technology on humans. So they round up some unsuspecting (horny) females and bring them into a mansion for some reason, but it doesn't matter, because they get to test the technology on them. This has adverse effects as it turns humans into weirdo semi-zombies things.The Good: This could be a really short paragraph. Um, let me think... it was so bad it was pretty funny? I was entertained by how awful it was? It was funny to see where Dale Midkiff and Andrea Thompson got their starts? Those are some pretty weak "good points", but I think that's all I've got coming to mind...The Bad: The whole shebang. This movie is nuts. Just a massive incoherent mess. I really had trouble figuring out what was going on in this. Like I stated in the synopsis, not a lot of the storyline made much sense. I really have no idea why any of the characters did anything they did or said anything they said. The editing was atrocious... I mean, literally the single worst editing job I have ever seen. There was just random little 10 second scenes thrown in all over the place. One liners that just come completely out of left field and then are gone... never to be heard from again. Did I mention that I was dumbfounded by how bad the script and editing were? I see that one of the workers on the film said the script was submitted in French and translated. That's the only thing about this film that makes perfect sense. I think it would have been better to just leave it in French and forget about any subtitles. Just awful. But even more awful than the editing was the "love story". It just really has to be watched to be believed. I actually recommend this for that reason alone. Watch this movie if you want to learn how NOT to write "love dialogue" and how NOT to edit a movie together. I gave it the three stars because I was able to sit through it and got a good laugh at how bad many of the scenes were. I will probably end up watching this one more time in a few years just to reminisce about how awful this was.George: So the most ridiculous part of an already overly ridiculous movie is that this massive computer has a user interface in the form of George. George isn't just a voice like Kitt on Knight Rider or HAL on 2001. Nope, George isn't like those "other" computer programs. George is in the form of a green hand puppet. Yup... you read that correctly. The user interface for this huge computer with cutting edge technology that will change the world is a hand puppet. And better yet (yes, it gets better...), ol' George is Jessica's (the protagonist, I think) "best friend". It must be because he gives her advice like "need more data" and "does not compute" and all those terms of endearment. He even tells her that she has a 66% chance to meet her dreamy Ken hitch-hiking... which she gleefully skips off to do. George is so loved that she hugs him and kisses him and tells him, "You are my best friend... what would my life me without you!". Yeah... so I'll end this there, because I don't want to get into how they turn personal objects into silver balls a-la Phantasm and make your personality change by eating them. Sigh. You just have to watch this for yourself to see if you can unlock the mysteries of Nightmare Weekend.

Greezus As an individual with an interest in B-movies, a person who has watched The Star Wars Holiday Special and The Room more than 10 times each, I must say that this movie is the longest, most trying experience I have ever had. Characters are hardly fleshed out & the plot rolls along excruciatingly slowly (not to mention the fact that half of the plot is typical romance fodder.)This creates a certain sensation I feel while watching this movie, a sensation that, hilariously, I can actually deem an effective explanation for.See, if you're like me, you don't really mind how "bad" a movie is; you're merely looking for something that will keep you intrigued/amused, whether it's "good" or "bad." I love The Star Wars Holiday Special; there are multiple moments where the 'So bad it's good / What the hell were they thinking??' aesthetic applies wonderfully. I'd compare it, and perhaps other B-movies, to, say, a musical act like GG Allin; so totally over-the-top and obnoxious that you simply cannot look away.This bandwidth being established, watching this movie from start to finish without the aid of alcohol is similar in nature to listening to Metallica's collaboration with Lou Reed, "Lulu." This movie is like "Lulu" in several ways: It's way, way too long given its content, it's set up absolutely terribly, there are very few moments where you are driven to care about what you're experiencing on any level, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.This isn't to say that you're going to be experiencing some decent-to- great (I wouldn't even call it excellent, honestly) unintentional humor, you're just gonna have to go through a long, painful experience to get any of it, and if you actually care about the story, then trust me, you're gonna have to go through an even longer painful experience.In conclusion, If you're like me, even after reading this review, you're gonna be grabbing this movie to see how terrible it truly is. I hope that, as a person who loves the Star Wars Holiday Special, I've effectively explained the level of 'awful' you're putting yourself up against. If, even then, you're still going to be watching this film, then I commend you for your bravery, and beg you to prepare yourself with the only advice I can offer you; Alcohol may help (I wasn't fortunate enough to have any laying around at the time of my viewing.)This movie is the only one that's ever caused me to literally stop the movie, look at the clock, and state out loud, "How far am I into this piece of ****?"

Maciste_Brother There are no words to explain how bad NIGHTMARE WEEKEND is. It simply defies description. Something about a computer that can change personal objects into silver balls that enter the victims' mouth, which kills them or turns them into zombies. The whole thing is so wonky that it's stunning. There's also a girl with personal computer in her room and the computer talks via a hand puppet!!!!!!!! I'm not making this stuff up. The computer also controls things like cars, even though there's nothing linking the computer with the vehicle.The "film" is total trash. Surreal bad trash. Spectacularly, one-of-a-kind bad trash. There's a lot of sex scenes thrown here and there, which aren't very hot or erotic. There's even one scene where a woman seemingly makes love or wants to French kiss a tarantula, which had me rolling on the floor.Definitely one of the worst movies ever made. Up there with the equally wretched direct-to-home video BOARDINGHOUSE, or BOOGEYMAN II (both NIGHTMARE WEEKEND and BOOGEYMAN II have scenes with a killer toothbrush!). At least it's fun to watch it and try to make sense of whatever is going on.

HumanoidOfFlesh Henry Sala's "Nightmare Weekend" is a rotten piece of sludge from Troma.This is a juvenile,sloppy and stupid low-budget horror film about some teenage girls spending the weekend at a mansion.The professor's evil assistant lures the girls into a bizarre scheme to perform hideous experiments.Using a brain implant she transforms her victims and their dates into zombies."Nightmare Weekend" is a completely braindead piece of garbage that features lots of nudity and some cheesy gore,not to mention a laughable musical score.The acting is horrendous and the script is utterly incoherent.Why such piece of crap is widely distributed is beyond me.Avoid it like the plague.1 out of 10.
