Yes, everybody has that same awareness regarding movies. After the 1990s, everything went downhill, not only the movies, but the music, the clothes fashions, the colorfulness of the cities, the creativity and intellect, just everything you can think of. I am so glad that I am not the only one who realizes this. Everything has been dumbed down.
survivaltrekker I totally agree, although for me everything started changing at the end of the 80’s. I was class of 1985 and I feel like I’m on another planet these days. I miss the old days so much....❤️
The 90s was the time of understated elegance in fashion. Jewel tones replaced neon and pastel. Neutral tones instead of super bold colors of the 80s. I enjoyed both eras, but once the 200s came, everything turned cheap and raunchy.
@@murtazaarif6507 Coming from the generation who literally made the cheapest & cheesy horror films ever, which were the 80s early 90s. There's nothing cheap or cheesy about today's pop culture. I think you're stuck in the past.
70's and 80's I think! They were the best. I'd go back and live the rest of my life. We didn't have any the technology then we have now, and we were better for it. The movies were amazing, and it was a different world - a better one by far than now.
Wow I remember watching this movie the night it aired on tv with my mom (either 1989 or 1990) we had seen the promos for it and were psyched to watch it. I was around 6 or 7 and funny enough this movie stuck with me over the last 29 years. I could never remember the title just a hotel with a hidden 13th floor and that creepy decor. Did some Google searches and now here i am! Good to see this again :)
Same here!!! I was 10 when this aired in 1990. A while back, I went on a mission to find and stream this old movie somehow. I had a hard time finding it at first because I was mistakenly searching under “MURDER” on the 13th floor. I was finally able to remember it was actually NIGHTMARE on the 13th floor. Just finished watching it and it was just as scary and creepy as it was when I originally seen it in 1990. Sometimes movies from this era don’t hold up well. This one was still scary after all these years.
I know, that was kind of silly and as well, Sargent Madden could have had at least two or three cops providing backup as well, but its a silly, but yet tasteful, effective and scary film, nevertheless.
@@davsny5 It happens in almost all horrors. Why do they go barging in without backup or even informing their colleagues in station is what baffles me too LOL
I watched this movie a looooong time ago when I was home sick from work one day, and I've never forgotten it. Now I've gotten to see it again on another sick day. Thank you for the upload!
While the acting can be a bit cheesy in certain spots, it is definitely not the worst I have seen in horror cinema. This film is one of my all-time favorites. I love the "hotel horror" niche. This one, 1408, and The Shining are amazing.
1408 and The Shining are two of the scariest movies I have ever seen. I love them both and I love this movie, no jump scares or CGI, just plane old fashion terror, horror and suspense.
Love these kinda movies n always did from a child, I also think the old Hammer Horrors are the best, usually most Horrors from the 60's n 70's are good ones, don't think I saw this movie before tho, think this is the 80s,going by the clothes at nyway
I watched this movie several times growing up. That and another movie called Trapped about an office worker stuck in a high rise building with a killer. Seeing it as an adult I can’t help but chuckle how the sargent had a warrant to go back to the hotel but this time he had zero backup. Gotta love movie logic. 😆
I loved the character of Letty, lol. “Well sure, sweetie ...” and “The poor guy was eating out of the garbage ...” I think we’ve all known someone like her
the production reminds me of friday the 13th the tv series..probably the same company considering that this a usa channel flick. the golden years of night flight!
This has been my favorite since it first came on that Halloween night. Mom programmed the VCR and copied it on a blank VHS. Okay and I was always fascinated by Terri Treas (of Alien Nation fame & Santa Barbara infamy!) and her haircut in this! Those side burns Yaas
The first time I saw this movie was in the year 2000 and right away I knew that it was going to be one of my favorite movies. I could never watch this movie enough and get bored of it 👍🎥🎬
I never watched this. But when I was a kid, very young kid I remember me, my mom, and dad spending the night our of town at a hotel. A very nice one and I remember them advertising this movie on pay per view. And the preview scared me. It was around the time Thrilller was out. Because after I watched Thriller it scared the fuck out me and I went to bed not trying to stay up to watch NIGHTMARE ON THE, 13TH FLOOR. 😂😂😂😂😂
+ Robert Abdon-Baker - What is REALLY frightening is how a grown-man can be scared of a barely adequate actress in a super shitty 80's made-for TV fucking movie. Now THAT is scary.
Definitely a creepy movie, where as always, ol Louise Fletcher just gives General Creepiness that little "extra sumthun"..... like her Best Actress Award for "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" / 1976!!!! While I usually Guess The Ending about half-way through a film, this time the ending was indeed a surprise! THX for the upload...
One of my favorite horror classics. Saw this for the first time in 1990 when it premiered on USA. If you notice 1:12:34 you can see part of the crew for the movie tucked on the side of the elevator. lol
In Detroit, with older buildings, the 13th floor is labeled the 14th floor, but in some buildings, it just doesn't have any tenants, because in reality, no matter what number you label it, it is still the 13th floor. The elevator door opens and you see zero activity. It's kind of funny how seriously that is taken in the secular world. So, we're not always so secular after all. It's quaint in a way.
I was 13 when this first premiered--it also reminded me of how much I used to love to watch USA Up All Night and the trashy 1-900 phone sex and psychic commercials 😊😂
Letti Gordon is none other than Louise "Nurse Ratched" Fletcher. Good to see James Brolin in the mix too, liked him in "The Car" (1977). For a 1990 TV movie, it's not that bad. Ive seen way worse. Thanx for the upload COBRASMA
Yes, I had been waiting to re-watch this movie for 17 years. In 2001, I actually didn't know it was a 1990 release. This means it came out, respectively, at the same time as The First Power (when cults were prevalent).
I love this movie. I think the 13th floor in number and in its heavy red damask traditional wallpaper represents our deepest fears that we keep hidden. This is also helped through the dim lightening which is such a contrast compared to the lower floors of the hotel like a place somewhere far beyond our reach or realm. Everything on the 13th floor represents the past and increases this cozily warm but frightening effect which reaches its climax.
Ahhh why didn't the cop take back up with him? Especially after being told in the past about loony dude with ax . I've seen this a few times on TV still love it, thanks for uploading this lol
Raven Vaughan That's because this move was made back in the day when they knew how to make movies. Now days I wouldn't give you a quarter for the biggest majority of the movies they make.
I missed it that times around 2000 and 2001, when this film was shown on T.V by Redetv... Saudades dos tempos quando esse filme passava no TV terror da redetv...
mike06052 she was The cruel and mean grandmother in-two moon junction; her great granddaughter in that movie was “ Milla, Who later changed her name to Milla Jovovich. She was only like 10 in that movie, and is already a supermodel
movies like this is the proof you don't need Gore, extreme violence, blood & special effects to make a decent movie..just a decent storyline suspense & a small twist..not bad at all
I would like to book a room on the13th floor of the famous Cecil hotel and take the elevator and push all the buttons down just like Elisa in the year 2013,too crazy!
This movie didn’t make me scared of all elevators but there is one slow elevator at my work with the same type of gate and that one freaks me out when I ride in it even though it’s only for 2 floors (service elevator)
@@nightfall9371 when Elaine was in that elevator and it fell three floors. Just gives me more reason not to ride elevators. That will cause anyone to piss their clothes.
