Movie Reviews of Nightmare City

Movie Review: "Aim for the brain."
Summary: 3 Stars

A large military transport plane lands and out pops a bunch of quick moving crusty bloodthirsty radioactive humans who just start tearing the hell out of everything. Eighty-something minutes pass. The End.

The basic idea for the film is good, but any serious potential the film might have had is completely ruined by the weak make up, the bad acting and the careless direction which leaves us instead with a very funny film! Did you know that televisions are highly explosive? Or that point blank machine gun fire doesn't even slow down radioactive humans? Or that dogs like running and playing with zombies (helicopter scene). Also at the 80 minute mark watch the one zombie just stand there like he didn't hear the director yell "Action!"

Movie Review: nice revisitation to friday night pizza and Dr Pepper zombie movie-ism
Summary: 3 Stars

Nightmare City (City of the Walking Dead) is a good and pretty satisfactory retread of the zombie-gore formula. the plot is, naturally, unimportant. but this time it's radiation zombies, and you get to see the murderers in the form of regular looking people to really messed up in makeups that look like those mexican circus performer brothers with thick fur all over they're bodies that show up on Ripley's Believe it or not occassionally. The gore is good (stabbings, breast and eye-gougings, an arm shot off), and there is a lot of (good) female nudity. The music and the scenery is also pleasant. Hats off to Lenzi for that suspenseful plane landing at the beggining of the film. Recommended.

Movie Review: New approach to the zombie genre
Summary: 3 Stars

I first heard about Nightmare City in Rue Morgue magazine, and was intrigued by the descriptions so I bought it. While not one of the best zombie movies, NC is quite entertaining and a break from the usual "stagger around aimlessly for brains" zombie protocol. These zombies run, shoot guns, and know kung-fu! They also seem to have covered their faces in week-old quiche, but that's not the point. As always, the dialogue is laughable and the dubbing is even worse, but fans of these movies know that already. Horror fans are also notoriously schizo about their movie collections, so Nightmare City has a good chance of being added to many.

Movie Review: Not what I thought
Summary: 3 Stars

I was under the impression that these were super zombies or something, but I didn't get that feeling watching this film. Though they did bradish weapons and move quicker than most zombies, I felt that the level of gore that something of this magnitude could generate was certainly lacking in this film. Promising start, yet it just falls flat towards the end. What a cop out of an ending also, but it's in stride with the direction the film was taking anyway. However, if you are a fan of zombie films, add this one to your collection. It's unique in a dumb kind of way. The interview with the director is very interesting.

Movie Review: A very fun running zombie film, with guns, knives and gore!
Summary: 3 Stars

This is cheese, right off. You know, bad in a funny way, thanks to poor dubbing, a goofball story, and hilarious toxic 'zombies' that are so relentless, they race off a jetliner shooting, stabbing and sucking the blood of anyone in sight!

This is a classic cheese zombie film, a must see for zombie gorehounds. Most of the film contains chases and evasive tactics by a man and woman team as they try to survive a day in Nightmare City. Plenty of gore, TONS of crappy looking, running, stabbing zombies that shoot machine guns.

The end Amusement Park location zombie attack scene is a must see.
