Nightmare City1980
“Now They Are Everywhere! There Is No Escape!”
Directed by Umberto Lenzi
The premise
A reporter and his doctor wife try to escape from the hordes of bloodthirsty, undead people exposed to nuclear radioactivity as military leaders fight a losing war of attrition against the relentless attacks.
Horror Vault's take
When a plane lands carrying passengers transformed into savage, bloodthirsty killers by nuclear contamination, a city is plunged into violent chaos almost instantly. A journalist and his wife fight to stay alive as the infected horde spreads with terrifying speed and the military scrambles to contain the uncontainable. Italian genre maestro Umberto Lenzi delivers a breathless, gore-drenched sprint through the end of civilisation that prioritises relentless carnage over subtlety. Fans of early-80s European exploitation horror will find plenty to savour here.
