"A surprisingly well-crafted and acted terror movie."

Directed by Pete Walker and released in 1974, 'Frightmare' is neither all that frightening nor does it bare all that much resemblance to that of a nightmare, and while the cover art may have you thinking something else, it surprisingly is not at all a very gory film by today's standards and if it was released nowadays it could probably pass with an R, or very easily a PG-13 rating with certain scenes cut. It is however a slightly disturbing and very mildly freaky film that's moderately well-made and acted for a film with such a movie poster.

It's not a terrific contribution to the horror genre that will be remembered and praised continuously, but it's a film with a fairly interesting premise that's executed as well as it possibly could have been with such a premise and not to mention, budget. Not quite worth buying, but if for some insane reason this film is available for rent at your DVD shop, it certainly would not be a bad idea.
