Are you craving Mary Woronov, Adam Ant, and full-frontal Brosnan? If so, you're an unusual individual with a highly-specific set of demands. You will likely enjoy this film about ghosts (?) and whatnot.
Novel structure. Terrible French accents. Terrible pronunciation of "Inuit."
Good fun 80s goodness with a loaded cast and the Die Hard director! Last act is a bit clunky. Yippee Kay Aye Nomads!
Sophisticated, stylish thrillers were trending hard from the late 80s/early 90s... Manhunter, Jacob's Ladder, Frantic, Angel Heart. Nomads got made at the start of that trend, and you can give McTiernan some points for originality. But Nomads does NOT have the staying power of those other films, probably because they dug deep into their characters' thoughts and situations in ways that Nomads can't manage. Plus, the only way to explain Brosnan's "French" accent is if no one -- and I mean no one -- involved in this picture knew what a French accent sounds like.
as a horror movie did not care for it.
