Nightmares Come At Night (1972) – Sexploitation Movie Review

Sexy dark-haired angel Anna de Istria (Diana Lorys) is having one helluva dream. She sees her blonde-bombshell lover Cynthia (Colette Giacobine) in bed with her blue flowered print dress undone. Cynthia is asleep but her breasts are fully visible. A man places Anna on the bed, strips her of her night dress and silver sandals. The two begin to get yummy when it turns much darker. Anna strangles the man to death, but also stabs him with a spear. She awakens screaming, but finds blood on her hands giving some credence to the vision she just had.

Well, this sounds like a Jesús Franco movie.  Okay class, thank Mr. Franco!

Anna runs to the shower where devious minx Cynthia runs in to help soothe and calm her. Poor Cynthia must be freezing. She’s only wearing black lingerie. She tells Anna that it was only a dream and dries her off paying careful attention to certain parts of Anna’s body. She gives her girlfriend a small peck on the lips – a prelude of things to come….yummy things.  Yummy, yummy things. 

Cynthia seems worried about Anna’s recurring dream and calls over sexy Doctor Paul Lucas (Paul Muller). He offers some meds to ease what he believes to be hallucinations. Anna seeing the doc runs after him. She makes a meeting to see him. Afterward, Anna sneaks back in bed pretending that she never left. This relationship has trust issues!

That said, they are ACES in the bedroom department. Cynthia comes in and comforts Anna. She caresses her body and the two make love. I don’t care who gets murdered. These ladies need to keep doing what they’re doing.

Anna does go to see the doctor and begins crying. She says that her name isn’t Anna and that she isn’t a princess. The doc is understanding and doesn’t seem surprised. He tells her to trust him. I don’t think she should. He seems suspicious but damn he is sexy. Okay, trust him! Let’s get those two bevvies in his bed. That would be a threesome I want to see!

Anna says that Cynthia is cold and distant, but she feels as though she can confide in Paul. She tells the doc that she was a stripper when she met Cynthia and that now she’s trapped and reliving the same nightmare. She asks the doc whether he thinks the murder in her dream happened or if it was an illusion.

Paul wants to put Anna in a hospital for her own good. He fears she could hurt Cynthia and she agrees. On the drive over, we are now treated to the events that came before.

Thru a series of flashbacks, we start with Anna’s old strip routine which reveals her donning a wonderful black number with fishnet tights, panties and a matching bra. I love her.

It was there that she saw Cynthia for the first time. Anna is immediately taken in. Cynthia’s eyes on her body and lustful glances sends her over the edge. She begins stripping for Cynthia and designing her routine around things that entice which in turn gets both women off….and anyone lucky enough to be watching.

Anna owns the camera and the pace though painfully slow is mesmerizing. It’s the best sort of pain. You want more but are delighted they’re showing it bit-by-bit. It’s an art and the sensuality of the scenes is spectacular. She is just glorious!

Cynthia is a bit of a minx and wants to keep Anna tame to which the dark haired beaut has rebelled. While living together, Anna first has her nightmare. We also see Cynthia’s first meeting with Paul and Cynthia’s outrageous temper towards Anna. She’s so fucking hot though. I’d be fine with her tantrums – not even gonna lie. Give that woman a spanking cane!

Admittedly, she shouldn’t throw Anna in a locked bathroom to teach her a lesson though. That’s a little rough and mean. It was wrong and if Cynthia wasn’t so goddamn gorgeous I’d be pretty angry about it.  I mean after-all Cynthia is firm but fair….wait not fair.  Sexy..she’s oh so firm and oh so sexy!

Anna has another dream of herself being draped in only pearls covering the most intimate parts of her body. At a party while her beasts are fully exposed, a woman in high-white leather boots and a purple dress begins making out with a boy at a dance party.  Anna is turned on and both walk over and place their heads in her lap and begin to turn up the heat.  God, I love these movies.

Later, Anna comes home to find Cynthia making love to a man in their bed. Anna should have fucked Dr. Paul! Cynthia is gorgeous and YES she should definitely have fun with her, but admittedly Cynthia is a bitch. I mean the guy she’s in bed with wasn’t even Dr. Paul. I like Dr. Paul. I think Dr. Paul having sex with both of these women could bring them together and make them a stronger unit. I think what I’m trying to say is that I want Paul to have a harem of sexy ladies at his beck and call and I want to watch! Is that so wrong?

Cynthia’s lover comes on to Anna and she is taken with him. They begin making love which then leads to the conclusion and reveals what the dreams have meant.

I highly recommend this. It’s messy. It’s sloppily put together and there’s a side jewelry heist plot which is also weaved in at the end as sort of a strange explanation. Still, it’s a lot of fun and is filled with a lot of smoldering scenes that would never be put in a film today.  I loved it. It was awesome. It makes up for me having to sit thru the new ROBIN HOOD yesterday.

Currently, this is on HORROR TV which is $1.99 a month thru AMAZON PRIME so unless you have it on DVD or Blu-ray, I think that’s your best bet.

 

Scared Stiff Rating: 8/10
