The dream you can't escape alive! A patient disturbed by vicious nightmares of his horrific past escapes from a mental institution and murders his way down New York City’s legendary 42nd Street (in its grindhouse heyday) before making the jaunt to Daytona, Florida. Famously sued by special-effects legend Tom Savini for using his name to promote the film, NIGHTMARES IN A DAMAGED BRAIN still delivers the gory goods with work by Ed French (TERMINATOR) and Monster Man Cleve Hall … and has the distinct honor of making Great Britain's “Video Nasty” list.

Spiraling between grimy horror, punk rock and art film, Abel Ferrara directs and stars as Remo Miller, a starving artist struggling to make it in NYC. As the pressure mounts, his sanity slips, and the only way to fulfill his artist craving is by taking a power drill to anyone he encounters on the streets late at night. As the opening title card says: "This Film Should Be Played Loud," so prepare for mayhem at maximum volume.
