Movie Reviews of Nightmare City
Movie Review: Lenzi drops a stink bomb.
Summary: 1 Stars
Director Umberto Lenzi may be of a similiar lineage as other Italian exploitation/horror movie directors, but he is in no way in the same class as some of his brethern. Mario Bava, Dario Argento and Lucio Fulci are generally considered to be the best of the best, but on a level or three below them are Jess Franco, Joe D'Amato and Umberto Lenzi.
I own many of all of these directors movies, some are ecxellent (Zombi, Suspiria, Black Sunday), some are ok (Death of the Twitch Nerve, City of the Living Dead, Inferno) and some are complete crap. We must file Lenzi's "Nightmare City" under the latter category. I really didn't realize that you could actually pack a steaming pile of feces in a DVD case but "Nightmare City" proves that it can be done.
I am not even going to go into a plot synopsis, or character descriptions as there really is no reason to when a stinker like this is being reviewed. The acting is atrocious, the dubbing horrific (in a bad way), the make-up/special FX amateurish, the sound is awful, the story is ridiculous, and the ending is a total cop-out.
This movie is about an hour and a half of wasted time you will not be able to get back. Waste not your time or your money on this movie. Instead get a six-pack of Labbats and watch a Fulci movie, you'll have more fun and have a better value for your time and hard earned cash.
