Welcome to this review of this past Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, right here on Nerdly… Let’s see what went down on this week’s show!
Match #1: Damian Priest def. Shinsuke Nakamura The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Competing in first match as Mr. Money in the Bank, Damian Priest took on fellow Money in the Bank competitor Shinsuke Nakamura. The action spilled to the outside as Priest dumped Nakamura onto the barricade. Conspicuous by his absence was Finn Bálor as the rest of The Judgment Day were at ringside. Nakamura locked in an armbar to try to submit Priest. As Nakamura went for the Kinshasa, Priest evaded, hitting a gnarly clothesline followed by South of Heaven to lock up his first win as Mr. Money in the Bank.
My Score: 3 out of 5 Match #2: Women’s Tag Team Titles No. 1 Contenders’ Gauntlet Match – Winners: Chelsea Green...

If Radha Blank can get her game face on breaking out her feature film debut when belonging to the 40-something club, then that late bloomer logic might apply here for Norwegian helmer Kjersti Helen Rasmussen. Working in commercials, writing the feature The Tunnel (2019) and directing short films that would be selected for genre film fests, for her feature debut she bed sheet tied Eili Harboe – the lead from Joachim Trier’s Thelma. The Nightmare (Marerittet) is essentially a tale about becoming a mother and the ordeal of getting a proper night’s sleep. So we can expect it to hit that sweet spot that Norwegians a re good at in terms of Midnight divertissement.…...

Welcome to this week’s Monday Night Raw review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and Woody Allen creeps me out. Blagaingo! This is the final show before Starrcade. I love Starrcade. The 1980s are a sterling time in wrestling. You get the best matches from all corners of the National Wrestling Alliance. Greg Valentine, Roddy Piper, Nikita Koloff, Dusty Rhodes, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Magnum Ta and Ric Flair are some of the biggest stars in wrestling. The Road Warriors and The Steiner Brothers battle The Midnight Express and The Rock N’ Roll Express for tag supremacy as Jim Cornette falls fat-ass first from a scaffold every week on TBS Superstation. We have MTV and steroids and f—ked-up hair-styles and Traci Lords (who is at least 18 for sure), all of which will last forever and never lose their luster. Cobra is the greatest movie ever made.

Kieran wrapping up myAFI Fest in Hollywood.
German visual artist turned filmmaker, Akiz’s Der Nachtmahr immediately announces its desire to confront its audience. The film begins with a super that warns about the strobe effect, which has been known to cause seizures (supposedly) in certain audience members. It then follows it up with a second super that cheekily reads “Anyway…”
For better or worse, Der Nachtmahr's opening scene certainly live up to its lurid promise as we follow high-schooler Tina (Carolyn Genzkow) and her group of friends at a rave party. Booming, assaultive techno music fills the diegesis as we watch Tina and her friends drink, do various drugs and night swim. The flashing, disorienting strobe light effect used in the party scenes is meant to mirror Tina’s fragile mental state, which starts its dramatic decline the night of the party. She begins to see a small,...

Der Nachtmahr
Directed by Akiz
Written by Achim Bornhak
Germany, 2015
German nu-techno artist Akiz opens his debut film with a meek disclaimer to ‘play this film loud’, a rare moment of quiet trepidation before all sorts of sonic and symbiotic hell breaks loose. Tina (Carolyn Genzkow) and her teenage friends are veterans of the decadent Berlin party scene, imbibing a heady cocktail of thrills, pills and bellyaches, and dancing until the dawn. One night, her nocturnal antics get out of hand after she passes out, and in her comatose condition, she nets a dark creature of the id, a grotesque gnomish monster which starts to stalk Nina at school and at home, much to her distress. Whether this abominable apparition is real or a hallucination fueled by her narcotic disintegration is kept close to the film’s nerve-pummeling chest, as physical manifestations of the creature conveniently materialize as the possible...

This German electro horror from artist/ director Akiz can be viewed as either a Lovecraft-like musical or subversive sci-fi about the youth of today. Its juxtaposition of styles feels too distinctive to be a product of its time yet the sub-cultural references and soundtrack may make it more synonymous with the modern music scene. While

Angst von der Angst: Concept Overrides Construction in Weak Psychological Metaphor
It’s evident a majority of the artistry that went into the conceptualization of Der Nachtmahr (The Nightmare), the sophomore feature from Akiz (aka Achim Bornhak), revolves around its provocative piece de resistance, a hunchbacked alien creature hobbling around in the periphery of its terrorized protagonist’s psyche. If only as much artistry had been poured into the remainder of the film perhaps this wouldn’t seem like fodder for a decent short feature stretched precariously beyond belief.
A group of mostly white and privileged drug addled teenagers stomp around secret raves, defiling the wishes of their parents in their endless revelry. Daytime hours are spent wallowing about in smoke-filled rooms, with this particular group lazily regarding a less stable cohort as she disappears down a vaguely defined rabbit hole of increasingly materialized fear. Lovers of electronic beats may...

★★★☆☆ Der Nachtmahr (2015), the directorial debut of German multi-disciplinary artist Akiz, begins with a title card requesting that the following film is "played loud, okay?". This immediately suggests that the sensory experience will be as key to gaining understanding as intellectual engagement, and so proves to be the case. Fittingly for a film about the awkward alienation of the teenage years, Akiz is aiming for a visceral and palpable reaction to his dark tale of a 17-year-old girl plagued by a grotesque, sprite-like creature that seems to be following her around and who nobody else can see. What is unquestionable is that it makes for creepily affecting viewing.

Before the German export Der Nachtmahr even begins, the viewer is presented with not one, but two warnings – the first concerns strobing, while the other points out the use of “isochronic and binaural frequencies” – as well as a suggestion that “this film should be played loudly.” The work certainly lives up to its promise of an unforgettable hyper-sensory experience, as it spirals down a rabbit hole lined with neon glow sticks, ear-splitting Edm, and an inexplicable cameo by former Sonic Youth frontwoman Kim Gordon.
Influenced by both low-brow horror (Basket Case definitely comes to mind) and high-brow art (namely a 1781 painting by Henry Fuseli) the feature debut from writer/director Akiz opens on the main character Tina (Carolyn Genzkow), a hard-partying Berlin teenager with little parental supervision. After blacking out during a poolside bacchanal, she awakens to find a weird creature only she can see raiding her family’s refrigerator.

Set to make its North American premiere as part of the Vanguard program at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival, Der Nachtmahr looks to be a loud, disturbing picture about a creature that may (or may not) be haunting a teenage girl. To give you a better idea of what to expect, here's the (rather lengthy) official synopsis: Jarring, disturbing, and thoroughly disorienting, Der Nachtmahr is a psychophantasmagoric coming-of-age story about a teenage girl thrust into an unnaturally symbiotic relationship. Secret raves, drugs, and late nights are par for the course for sixteen-year-old Tina (Carolyn Genzkow) and her friends on the decadent Berlin party scene. When Tina passes out at a party one night, she assumes it was just a side effect of her wild lifestyle -- that...

I love coming-of-age stories, especially when they incorporate elements of horror. Because what’s more terrifying than transitioning from a child to an adult? Writer/director Akiz’s horror flick Der Nachtmahr tackles those troubling teenage years with a “psychophantasmagoric” slant. The icing… Continue Reading →

The Toronto International Film Festival’s prominence on the festival circuit has only grown over the years, with films from numerous different fields having gone on to critical and commercial acclaim. Among the festival’s different categories are Tiff Docs and Vanguard. Tiff Docs allows documentaries to get their own spotlight at the festival, giving acclaimed documentarians such as Michael Moore and Frederick Wiseman a platform for their films. The Vanguard section, on the other hand, showcases films that aren’t easily categorisable into a specific genre. With the Canadian Films lineup announcement having revealed the first set of films playing in each group, Tiff today revealed more of the lineup in each section. The list of newly announced films, with their official synopses, is as follows.
Tiff Docs

Der Nachtmahr Trailer Has Been Released. Akiz Ikon‘s Der Nachtmahr (2015) movie trailer stars Carolyn Genzkow, Sina Tkotsch, and Wilson Gonzalez Ochsenknecht. Der Nachtmahr‘s plot synopsis: “Tina, a 16-year-old girl who seemingly has everything a young teenager could ever ask for. After a massive party one evening, however, she begins experiencing nightmares in which she is haunted by an unusual creature. As reality and dreams collide, Tina finds herself befriending the monster and forging a relationship that will change the lives of everyone around her.”
This trailer is massively exciting, inventive, and persuasive. It pulsates with the desire to know what’s really happening. The acting seems surprisingly decent and as if it won’t take you out of the film, unlike most other German films, unfortunately. And the creature effect, oh yes! It looks terrifyingly alien yet familiar. I’m curious as to what that goblin-like, horrifying, slimy critter turns out to be.
