Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Inmechon The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Bloodwank Nikos the Impaler sees Andreas Schnaas treading pastures new. Instead of Karl the Butcher a new legend of the terrible barbarian Nikos, instead of forests, hills, bunkers the city, a museum and the mean streets of new york. Instead of German actors with subtitles or hilariously poor dubbing, actual American actors speaking in the English language and instead of Schnaas' traditional svelte 75 odd minute run time, nearly 100 minutes. Basically its a big step up in the world, ambitious stuff. And does he manage it? Well, yes and no. To a certain extent. Kinda, somewhat, almost. Not his best and not his worst, Nikos the Impaler is basically worthy. Newcomers may be mildly amused and it may hopefully inspire them to check out the better of Schnaas' work, this is probably a good gateway film, but its far from great and it won't turn the heads of anyone who isn't already into trash-gore flicks, nor will it especially invigorate existing Schnaas fans. The big problem is the run time, there simply isn't enough useful material to fill it. The opening and the ending drag, the former through setting up characters in more detail than they need given that their only purpose is as meat puppets, the latter through the pointless introduction of ludicrous Hitler, Eva Braun and ninja appearances, handled in utterly perfunctory, unimaginative fashion. And so with a film basically dragging, the good stuff has a tough job to keep it all moving. Fortunately the acting is committed despite some awful dialogue, so the lovely Felissa Rose puts on a good show, Joe Zazo is suitably heroic (and handles the worst of the dialogue) and Brenda Abbandandolo brings more sympathy than expected to a thankless just above cannon fodder role. Schnaas himself plays the evil Nikos as is his wont, clad in armor and swinging a sword he makes for a decent villain. The gore is cool too, abundant stabbing, decapitation and limb lopping mostly. The grue is never especially elaborate or sadistic though, and not quite regular enough for the expanded run time. In the end the whole film sags a bit, never less than watchable but it gets a bit tired a ways before the end, never unlikable but its good to see it go. Worth a watch for guru's of this sort of thing or those looking for a relatively un-frightening entry to this sort of thing but otherwise skippable, 5/10 from me.

ihatecyberbullies A fun movie to watch. Not meant to take seriously but a neat party flick! I am in charge of showing indie film's at an underground cinema known as the Celtic Cafe Cinema in Vancouver, BC and I showed this one for sure. I hope Andreas makes a sequel. Alot of gore and alot of slapstick. Very much like a Troma Team movie. Both a comedy and horror mixed in one. Felissa Rose as Sandra Kane does a good job especially her screaming and Joseph Zaso who plays her boyfriend Frank Heller does a decent job as well. Brenda Abbandandolo who has the supporting role as Daisy does well too. This was a shoestring budget I must say but the killings are creative and very graphic with gore! A good music score too! There's even the typical shower slaughter scene at a workout gym.

Kristian Bakdal 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.

NIXFLIX-DOT-COM NIKOS THE IMPALER is not actual moviemaking. It's really nothing more than a group of people wondering how much carnage they can orchestrate with a limited budget. Even for those who enjoys gore, as I do occasionally, NIKOS doesn't offer enough COMPETENT gore and blood and guts to satisfy.Perhaps the real audience of NIKOS is those who doesn't require their gore to be well done. If so, then NIKOS is for them. It's mostly childish gore, and most of the killings come by way of decapitations. Really, once you've seen five characters getting their heads badly chopped off by a big sword, do you really need to see 10 more?4 out of 10(go to www.nixflix.com for a more detail review and reviews of films in this genre)
