Severin Films' meticulously assembled package for 'Nightmare' surpasses others with its detailed restoration from varied sources, achieving a definitive 99-minute version, while maintaining the film's gritty aesthetic and original aspect ratio, despite minor artifact challenges.

Audio: 75

Severin's release features a detailed DTS-HD MA 5.1 (3384 kbps) and 2.0 (2040 kbps) audio, missing the original mono, with well-executed English SDH. The mix showcases Williams's bass-rich score amidst clear dialogue and ambient sounds.

Extra: 66

Expansive special edition of 'Nightmare' features in-depth discussions, interviews revealing on-set anecdotes, technical insights, and the film's controversial history, alongside a documentary on UK censorship and rare productions by David Hamilton-Grant.

Movie: 66

Severin Films releases NIGHTMARE (1981) in a rich set, featuring a clash of directorial vision and production, pioneering slasher angles, influenced yet unique, marred slightly by its editing choices.
