"Nightmares is very obviously a product of the eighties. Just about every aspect of the movie is dated, from the clothing and hair to the language and technology. The visual effects are primitive by today's standards as well; although it's the single biggest line-item in the production's budget, the "hi-tech" computerized imagery in "The Bishop of Battle" is laughably bad. The soundtrack is full of eighties music as well... As funny as it seems at times, the datedness of Nightmares doesn't really take away from the entertainment value of the movie. Instead, it kind of makes the film serve more as a fun time capsule to a simpler era of cinematic history." - James Jay Edwards, FilmFracture
