Nightmaster (1988 TV Movie)
This movie is like a dream where nothing is quite right.
19 February 2004
Have you ever had one of those dreams where you seem to know everybody around and all the places you were at, but somehow it didn't match up? For instance, you're at the Raiders game with your grandmother and a drug dealer and you're singing Christmas carols. Doesn't quite go together very well.

That is what this movie is like. I couldn't tell if the characters were at their school, martial arts gymnastics dojo or some big boiler room or if they were all the same place. At one point I got the distinct feeling that I was in the Cobra Kai dojo from the Karate Kid.

The lack of any plot, it seems, makes this movie totally uninteresting in even the slightest manner.

I do realize that this review doesn't make much sense, but that is because this movie makes no sense either. It's just hard to explain.

I did, however, watch a young Nicole Kidman pretty closely. She looked so different and yet, still just as recognizable. She definitely has "It", even at such a young age. She is the only thing that kept this movie from being unwatchable.

Even despite Kidman, I give this movie 3 stars out of 10. Not recommended at all.
