Nightmare Man is a 2006 horror film about a tormented woman (Ellen) who believes there is a supernatural thing trying to kill her -- her "nightmare man". Her husband and doctors believe she's a paranoid schizophrenic. On the way to psychiatric ward, the Morris' car breaks down. When her husband goes to get gas, Ellen stays behind and is attacked by her mysterious, horrifying enemy, the Nightmare Man. Escaping into the nearby woods, Ellen stumbles upon a country house where two young couples are spending the weekend who are now also in danger. They do not know if the killer is real or just a figment of Ellen's tortured mind nor if the killer is outside or already inside the house. As people start dying, nobody knows whom they can trust. Near the end of the film, the killer is revealed to be a hitman hired by Ellen's husband to kill her before learning about his affairs. Ellen reveals she is possessed by the real Nightmare Man, a demon who enters a female body first by getting them to wear his mask, then he rapes them. As the Nightmare Man, she kills the hitman and her husband. She sets her sights on Mia, the survivor, who kills Ellen, but is stripped and raped by the Nightmare Man's spirit. She is left in an institution, where the doctor decides to take her off her pills, which are the only things that keep the demon asleep.
The movie was written and directed by veteran film-maker Rolfe Kanefsky; and produced by Paradigm Pictures, a division of Paradigm Entertainment Group[1], and Frederico Lapenda.
The film was completed in 2006. That same year, it screened at film festivals, such as the Shriekfest horror film festival in Hollywood, and it played for one week in a regular engagement at a theatre in West Hollywood. However, it did not receive actual distribution until it was picked up to be part of the 2007 After Dark Horror Fest, which annually releases eight independent horror films nationwide.[1]
