Product description

NOW THEY ARE EVERYWHERE! THERE IS NO ESCAPE! Long before zombies took up jogging in 28 Days Later and Zack Snyder s Dawn of the Dead remake, they were brandishing axes and other sharp implements in Umberto Lenzi s utterly insane radiation-sickness opus Nightmare City. In true Zombie Flesh Eaters form, our story begins with the arrival of an ominous, seemingly unmanned craft in this instance, a military plane making an unscheduled landing at a European airport. Upon forcing the aircraft doors open, the waiting soldiers get a nasty shock when out bursts a horde of flesh-hungry, pizza-faced radioactive ghouls. The walking dead are here, and they re hungry! Counting amongst its fans the likes of Quentin Tarantino and Eli Roth, Nightmare City (aka City of the Walking Dead) is a bonkers slice of Italian zombie carnage from the man who shocked the world with the notorious Cannibal Ferox

"Let's go with emergency plan H"!!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 May 2015
Verified Purchase
A plane lands full of infected zombies, who get out and start killing and eating everyone they encounter. A TV reporter and his doctor wife try to do what they can to stop them.

An incredibly fast moving but overly silly Umberto Lenzi horror. The opening sequence is a fairly accurate account of how the film is going to develop, the action takes centre stage and this is definitely the strongest aspect of the picture. Lenzi never really lets the pace slip, with each attack scene coming thick and fast as to never really get boring. Stelvio Cipriani's deep and fairly brooding score tries and in some scenes adds a fair bit of tension that lacks in the narrative. There is however more than one problem, the make up effects on the zombies/monsters or whatever, is awful and is really fake looking, is just appears they dipped there face into a make up bag and went with it, it never does convince although some of the gore sequences and effects are better. The plot is another problem, the final twist is ridiculous, there is no narrative resolution, plot points come to nothing and it leaves the film with a completely vacant ending. Some of the dialogue is so bad its genius - lets go with emergency plan h and leave plan b- that takes a special writer, the dubbing is also quite poor but the acting is fine, somehow even with all the negatives this is such a watchable film, everything is just so silly or awful it makes it even more endearing, the pace is lightning fast, yes some of the make up's awful but at least they made an effort (well maybe) and there's plenty of blood and guts to keep the horror fan satisfied.

If you don't take it too seriously there's plenty to enjoy, it's a massive surprise how much fun it is, but if your looking for another Romero better to skip this one. Lenzi's second film on the Section 3 nasty list, along with Eaten Alive and his couple on the full Video Nasties list so the DPP were clearly gunning for him.

GROUNDHOG DAY FOR ZOMBIES

This disc from ARROW Is a winner .First lets talk about the movie but i wont say to much as i dont want to spoil it for those who have not seen it yet but what i will tell you a plane lands with the living dead on board then all hell breaks loose.There is loads of blood in the movie but for me what made this movie apart from what had gone before we have zombies running and having guns etc.and the action takes place all over unlike the american movies that seem to take place in the one spot so this movie and THE LIVING DEAD AT THE MANCHESTER MORGUE broke some of the rules for this type of movie made at the time.Now for the extras on the disc we have the trailer for the movie the restoration of the movie and interview with cast you also can watch the movie in english or italian and lots more.So to sum up if you enjoy this movie this is the disc for you WELL DONE ARROW and well done for letting us know why the picture is not up to your standard with your short on the trouble you had with the restoration as part of the extras

Golly these people really don't like womens breasts. No opportunity is missed to stab them with a pointy stick. I wonder what Lenzi's mum makes of it all.
Speaking of Lenzi, in the 13 minute interview included on the Blue Underground release, the director claims he was not involved in the writing of Nightmare City and admits that narritively, it's a dogs dinner. He's not wrong either. It wants to be a horror movie like Dawn of the Dead and an eco-disaster movie like The Swarm. As a result, one negates the other and its all (im sorry to say) a bit unsatisfying. Boo hoo!
That said, the movie is not without its moments. There is no shortage of gore and it also contains one or two quite eerie bits (a lawnmower trundling across an otherwise empty backyard is more unsettling than you may think). But in all honesty the most terrifying thing in this romp is the hero, a man with the deranged look of someone at the wrong end of a PCP frenzy. And he's not even wearing make-up. Unlike the villains, who frankly look like homicidal broccoli. (David Cronenberg had running 'blood-demons' in Rabid. They weren't zombies and neither are these.)
If Nightmare City was a great movie, you would have already seen it. But it's still a keeper.

A favourite from 1980
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 May 2015

A favourite from 1980, the infected move quickly in this one, so no one can easily escape (This is sometimes called a zombie movie but it is really an virus movie as they hardly behave like Romero's zombies or The Walking Dead.) It is one of the early examples of this genre and paved the way for many other movies about infected people( eg 28 Days Later, World War Z)

Italian director Umberto Lenzi followed this up with the controversial Cannibal Ferox which is way more gory than Nightmare City but effective nevertheless.

"..80'S ZOMBIE CLASSIC.."
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 May 2012
Verified Purchase
There are many great zombie movies from the 80's its hard to keep up, nightmare city is a very unique and cool zombie movie with a good story, great gore and bloody zombie eating people scenes!! The zombies are different to most films as they have super strength and are slightly intelligent and fast moving!! The ending to this movie is unexpected but typical for the 80's, great film to get if your into the cheapy cheesy horrors of the 80's!!
