Nomads movie review
Doctor Flax (Lesley-Anne Down) is called in to treat an hysterical dying man. His dying shout in her ear links her inexorably to his story. He was a French anthropologist (Pierce Brosnan) and his wife (Anna Maria Monticelli) came to L.A. to start a more ordered life than their previous pursuit of nomads. Unfortunately their home appears to attract a suspicious group and Pommier begins to follow and study them, discovering that they are nomads in the midst of a big city.
Now Flax is haunted by Pommier's life as she is forced to relive it, and to discover the horror that sent him to his death.
Movie poster, Nomads
A Chilling Tale Of Supernatural Evil.
We are so very far from home. All of us. We have wandered so very far from home.
Nomads is an elegant story, well-told and fast-paced, all that is best from the unifying influence of a single writer/director, in this case John McTiernan. It begins as a mystery and builds, taking us with the characters up until the final horrific revelation.
Well-done and thoroughly enjoyable, this is an excellent example of the kind of horror that creeps up on the audience and relies on the idea, not a massive amount of gore and a soundtrack filled with screams. Excellent and highly recommended.
