About Nightmare on the 13th Floor
In this made-for-cable television horror thriller, a travel writer visits a historic hotel to write a story about it and inadvertently finds herself on the 13th floor where she witnesses a Satanic rite and tangles with an axe-wielding killer. She escapes, but no one believes her story because the hotel has no 13th floor.
Directed by Walter Grauman, Nightmare on the 13th Floor leans on a strong ensemble — Michele Greene, John Karlen, Louise Fletcher — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1990.
