Watch Nikos the Impaler For Free

Fresh and Exciting

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

NIKOS THE IMPALER is the sort of horror film that doesn't require that much intelligence or thinking or...well its a horror film that just perfect for watching after a few (hundred) beers. Evil Romanian tyrant Nikos, is executed in ye olden days and then through some unlikely coincidences and spilling of blood thanks to a botched robbery in a art gallery he is promptly resurrected in modern day new york and goes on a much needed killing spree, dispatching relative unknown and wooden actors, in various gory set pieces. Simple as that and no intelligence required. Along with the awful soundtrack, and cheesy effects, there's also a great/bad cameo by Lloyd Kaufman for all you troma fans out there other than that the film has enough late night watching value to warrant at least some attention, just drink beforehand!

The tag line on the DVD box says it all: "The Big Apple Gets A New Immigrant And A Very Big Problem." Oh so true. Unfortunately, that immigrant isn't the barbaric Romanian Impaler, it's the lame-ass German director. Geez. If your only interest is cheap but plentiful gore, and strippers taking showers, then director Andreas Schnaas delivers. If you want a story or acting or any of the other crafts associated with motion picture story telling, you must go elsewhere. It's easy to see why his films are also known as Violent Sh*t. His list of actors makes me think that he cast the film at a horror convention. Nothing wrong with that. Sadly, he gives few of these Grade-Z horror movie veterans anything to do. Joe Zaso, in particular, is wasted as a romantic lead.The most interesting thing about the film is the commentary track by the director. Listening to it, you come to the distinct conclusion that he felt he made a good film. Now that's hilarious.

Nikos the Impaler is pure dirt. It has the most bizarre plot ever involving a barbarian, Hitler, ninjas and a vampire.A robbery in an art museum goes terribly wrong which results in an ancient barbarian being bought back to life (as you do), who then goes on to create havoc and mayhem all throughout the modern city.Special mention must go to the camera work in this movie, it's the most screwed up I've ever seen, they keep cutting the tops of people's heads off. It's hilarious.Also, for some reason in this film, Hitler is a right fatty! It's a very good film because it's so bad that you have to keep watching it to find out what will happen next. There's a brilliant scene in video store where a young couple are trying to choose a film for the night and Nikos (the large barbarian) is walking round, happy as Larry with no-one noticing him....classic! If you watch this movie I guarantee you will never have seen anything quite like it before.I would give this movie dirt/10 for production values, but for entertainment value 8/10.

Wow, I'm rather amazed I've seen a lot of bad horror movies in my life, but this one is probably the worst yet. I haven't seen any of Andreas Schnaas' other movie, but from what I've read this is his best movie. So I might just have to see the rest to see if it's really possible to make anything worse then this one. The acting was crappy, not really the biggest surprise this is after all a low-budget B-movie. But usually B-movie know how to make fun/interesting killing. This is not the case in Nikos. Basically Nikos is just a crappy Jason-clone who walks around killing people with his big-ass broadsword. and that's all he does! A guy walking around killing people with a big sword can actually make a decent movie, if the killer does it in new and interesting ways. Nikos doesn't do that, he just lobs of people's heads (with a few exceptions not may though).I wouldn't recommend this money to my worst enemy, no one should be made to watch this movie, it's simply too crappy.
