I would like to describe the plot of Nomads, but my space is limited.

'... a disaster on release, but looks pretty good now, with muscular direction and an unconventional urban horror-story that’s hard to pigeonhole....'

.5/4

Nomads eventually (and lamentably) progresses into a tedious and hopelessly wheel-spinning midsection...

Nomads is an effective, if low key movie, that should be worthy of more attention than it is probably going to get.

3/5

Initially, the unorthodox elements in the narrative promise a more inspiring explanation, but even if its narrative is easy to dismiss, one can't deny a handful of beautifully evocative moments of memorable unease.

4/5

McTiernan's story involves the ghosts of past and modernity intertwined- a horror about our proximity to the past, at all times, even as post-modern people.

I guess you have to be an anthropology student to like this movie.

The glam rock track is a bit dated, but the film itself has some amazing startling moments. I first saw this on late-night TV and had to search to find the title, and promptly bought the VHS years ago. If you can get past Brosnan's faux French accent (I could), and if you like sort of non-gore, but bizarre mindgame horror, this movie may be for you. Ignore the naysayers and give this a chance. One of the only times I've strongly disagreed with Roger Ebert.
