Nightmare on the 13th Floor (1990)

My VHS Player Got Sick Of This One!

Made for TV horror suspense movie that is not full of gore and special effects that just has an overall creepy feel to it. If you want to see body parts strewn all over the place this isnt for you, however if you like some of the classic creepy films you may really like it. The acting is ok, a few charachters really stand out but nothing award winning, however there is just something about this movie that I absolutly love, when i was younger i would wear out the VHS tape and stay up to catch this on USA up all night. I think it has something to do with the creepy 13th floor and the old gaslights and funky wax cylinder music, watching the charachters go down the hall made me feel like I was playing Silent Hill. I would really like to see this released on DVD so I can have a good copy rather than the one I digitized with my ATI tuner card. May 13, 2008

Nurse Ratched Now Works at the Wessex Hotel!!

As usual, there's too much everybody else, not enough Louise Fletcher. Everything is so mediocre about this film, but at last we get closure to that burning, unresolved question: what happened to Nurse Ratched after she got fired from the crazy house?

Answer: She is now deep into a new, successful career in hospitality administration, managing a team of hotel employees and fulfilling important secretarial duties for Master Satan.

Louise Fletcher's performance is THE reason to watch! March 1, 2004

Nightmare on the 13th Floor

Nightmare on the 13th Floor is a rather creepy, very riveting and very suspenseful television movie with some cheesy transition effects, "different" cinematography, and a few rather amateur actors.

Elaine Kalisher is a writer for a travel magazine and is sent to the Wessex Hotel in Los Angeles to write an article. While exploring the hotel, the service lift breaks down on an unmarked 13th floor. There she witnesses a murder, but is assured (when she is awake) by the hotel doctor, that there is no 13th floor. What she discovers is actually really disturbing and very creepy.

This is really not the best movie, nor is it even a good TV movie. But, it does deliver some creepy bits, some good suspense and good set design. I like how this movie sort of gave us extremely good hints to solving the mystery of the masked murderer on the 13th floor and still was impossible for us to really guess who it was.

Overall, I'd say this is a decent film, though I'd really like to change a few things if I could. I'd give it three stars for it's overall good production values, even thought it has some flaws. Pretty good. January 31, 2003

A TV rarity!

I was surprised to find that this made-for-cable hotel chiller was creepy...even scary. Although acting may be a little dry, the special effects and action in this mystery make up for the acting. This movie must be good as my mom even likes it. This is a very great item. I love it...buy it! August 5, 2002

Old-Fashioned Horror At Its Best!

9/10"This means that Nightmare on the 13th Floor" is a good movie especially for fans of the genre.

Nightmare on the 13th Floor is a movie that remained with me

after I watched it on TV. The 13th Floor and James Brolin make

the movie devilishly good and wickedly scary. The acting is

good, although some people in the movie were amateur like Kerry

Noonan as Gale Myers. Michele Greene, James Brolin and John

Karlen all show good spirit in their roles.

This movie should not be missed and is very rare. So order it

here from Amazon.com like I did. June 6, 2002
