Review of the Blu-Ray

http://www.cutprintfilm.com/reviews/blu/blu-ray-review-nomads/

Nomads hovers somewhere in No Man’s Land between “films not for everyone” and “films for no one.” To describe the film as poorly made or incompetent would be a falsity, as from a directing standpoint alone Nomads can be quite strong. Where viewers will be turned off is in its very abstract form of storytelling and its very esoteric concept. To say the plot out loud – a woman uses the shared thoughts of a perfect stranger to investigate a group of undead nomad spirits currently living as big-haired biker gang in modern L.A. – is to make it sound patently absurd, and maybe it is. But at the same time it’s such an intriguing idea for a horror film that whether or not it entertains most audiences, or even some of them, it deserves points for that alone. This release from Shout! doesn’t rank anywhere near their best, but once again, such an obscure title, which was welcomed by only so many factions of the audience, was never going to be presented any better.
