UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
generationofswine This is an extremely well acted and insanely understated movie.There are ghosts, but they are slow to reveal themselves. For over half the movie you are thinking it's about a street gang.Only gradually does the plot open to you and unravel and key the viewer into that is told in the synopsis and on the cover of the VHS.You have to discover it piece by piece, so if you have the patience of the average reality TV fan, it's not for you. If you can kick back and actually watch a movie, it is rewarding, just slowly.
Friendend I remember this movie from when I was a teen in high school. I thought I had remembered the plot but was quite wrong when I started to watch this with a friend on a Saturday night. Being the 80's horror fanatic that I am, I figured this would be a good addition to my collection. And I must say WOW!!! WHAT A TREAT!!! This movie grabbed my attention from the get go. It was set up very well and the character development made me care for the doctor that was going through this "experience". The story moves along fairly well and keeps you curious about what is going to happen next. The editing between Pierce Brosnan's character and the doctors is done cleverly as well. It's not so much a horror movie but the trailer, if you watch it, promotes it as such. It's more a thriller than a horror flick. Still... I must say that I wasn't disappointed with it and was entertained from beginning to end.
haildevilman An early McTiernan flick.This is not the most coherent film, but at the same time, the pacing and frantic build-up more than make up for it.The best scenes are when Brosnan's character suddenly realizes he's been following the Nomads for 30 hours and they haven't stopped to sleep once.Then, when he's hiding in the dark alley, and trying to take pictures of No. 1, (Adam Ant) they make it clear they know, and knew all along, he's been watching. At this point everyone was wondering who, or what, these people are.The biker/punk look was a new twist, even if it looks dated now.And Brosnan should really avoid French accents.I'm also pretty sure that was Paul Bartel's voice on the phone. The fact that longtime friend Mary Woronov is in this film makes me all the more sure.Creepy flick.
Bob-45 If you want narrative plot summary, read the one posted on the IMDb. However, here are a few observations about "Nomads." o The most annoying thing about Brosnan speaking with an accent was not that he frequently slipped out of it. The most annoying thing is that both Brosnan and his wife were frequently unintelligible.o The movie slips into its plot so quickly, it doesn't really allow you time to develop empathy for the characters.o Most viewers are probably not familiar with entities of varying physicality. However, there are recorded cases of these.o The writer-director rarely raises much suspense. However, the closing scene was chilling enough to be worth the watch. There are worse things than death.I give "Nomads" a strong "6".
