Nikos the Impaler is a 2003 z-grade splatter film directed by and starring German auteur Andreas Schnaas.
It follows a reincarnated Romanian barbarian (Schnaas) as he wreaks havoc on modern day New York City.
[1] 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 who crosses his path.
After wiping out the denizens of the art museum, the maniac turns his sights on a health club, gay bar, movie theater, and video store.
