One of my favorite horror movies that I’ll never tire of watching again and again.

A Nightmare Wakes has quite a lot of things going for it. It has a beautiful aesthetic. It’s made of all the gorgeously dark and romantic things one associates with gothic literature.  We are gifted with wide, overwhelming views of landscapes and deep, dark, all-consuming bodies of water.  The visuals dance across the screen looking almost as if a painting left out in the sun a bit too long has come to life.

If you don’t know who Gwar is, I implore you to google them and enjoy yourself.

Spike Lee doesn’t miss a beat when it comes to including exquisite pieces of African Art in nearly every frame, be it tribal and global, or modern and contemporary artists — it is so rich and luxe and adds so much to the atmosphere, as well as helping highlight character traits. The soundtrack alternates between piano score and hip-hop/R&B and always perfectly compliments the scene at hand. All of this truly makes for an absolutely spectacular ambiance and mood for this reimagining of the original Ganja and Hess.
