Nikos The Impaler: Nikos the Impaler is a 2003 b-grade splatter film directed by and starring German arteur Andreas Schnaas. It follows a reincarnated barbarian (Schnaas) as he wreaks havok on modern day New York City.
Plot: College professor Frank Heller (Joe Zaso) and his girlfriend Sandra (Felissa Rose) lead a ragtag group of museum patrons in a race for their lives. After a botched robbery attempt spills blood on the ancient mask of Nikos a lu Unziceanu (Schnaas), the barbarian returns to kill off virtually anyone and everyone that crosses his path. After wiping out the art museum, the maniac turns to a health club, gay bar, movie theater, and video store to continue his rampage.
Movie Facts: Nikos the Impaler was shot on a budget of $40,000 and filmed exclusively in New York. Nikos was also the name of a character in one of Andreas Schnaas' (the director) earlier films, Anthropophagous 2000. Schnaas himself played Nikos in both movies. This has lead to the film being titled 'Violent Shit 4: Nikos' in some territories. There is a multitude of cameos within the film including: Debbie Rochon, Lloyd Kaufman, Darian Caine, Tina Krause, and Bela B. of Die Ärzte.
