Okay. Let's say that you cast Nightmare Revive. You pay the cost, you put it out for resolution, you give your opponent a chance to respond.

Path 1. Your opponent responds. His spell resolves. If he didn't nullify it, your spell resolves (Not terribly sure about this part, it's been a while since I read the thing and I don't feel like looking it back up right now, but it doesn't make much difference whether your original spell resolves before or after.)  Since the counter timing you're in is STILL the one which Nightmare Revive triggered, you are still capable of using Guillotine Cutter because you are still in a timing where you just took damage.

Path 2. Your opponent passes priority, and you cast Guillotine Cutter as a chain. Guillotine Cutter resolves first, then Nightmare Revive resolves.
