The Nightmare Man

Classic 80s horror out on DVD on 19th July.

First broadcast in 1981, The Nightmare Man tells the spooky tale of a lonely Scottish island stalked by a brutal killer who may be from another world...

Dismembered corpses are found and a flickery film of one of the murders seems to show a terrifying, shadowy monster.

Based on the 1978 book Children of Vodyanoi by David Wiltshire, The Nightmare Man was adapted by Doctor Who scriptwriter Robert Holmes and directed by Douglas Camfield.

Ooh, and it's also got the rather fab Celia Imrie in.

The Cult team remember it seriously giving us the willies when it was first broadcast, so be warned.
