Product Description

Product Description

Umberto Lenzi directs this cult horror starring Hugo Stiglitz and Laura Trotter. When American news reporter Dean Miller (Stiglitz) turns up at an airstrip to interview a scientist about a recent radiation spill, he quickly realises the accident is a lot worse than he expected. When dozens of deformed people alight from an unmarked military plane and start attacking everyone present, Miller's first thought is to warn the public and find his wife Anna (Trotter). As the bloodthirsty attackers begin to take over the city, can Miller and Anna escape before it's too late?

3.0 out of 5 stars"Let's go with emergency plan H"!!
By L.J.F.64 on 26 May 2015
Format: DVD 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 scenes 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/monster 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 violent scenes are better, the plot is another problem, the final twist is so ridiculous it ruins it, 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 really bad- lets go with emergency plan h and leave plan b- that takes someone special, the dubbing is also quite poor and acting is at best fine, somehow even with all the negatives this does remain a watchable film, everything is just so silly or bad it makes it a bit more endearing, the pace is fast, yes 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 should be something to enjoy it is a fun film, if your looking for another Romero 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.

4.0 out of 5 starsNightmare City. Movie & Arrow Blu ray review
By Mr. E. A. Williamson on 12 Oct. 2015
Format: Blu-ray
Umberto Lenzi's 1980 nuclear contamination movie 'Nightmare City' makes it's way onto Blu ray courtesy of Arrow Films in a new 2k restoration from the original camera negative and presented completely uncut and uncensored. Arrow dish out this madcap slice of Italian schlock in a double play format (with both a region free Blu ray & DVDs included), a plethora of supplementary material, reversible cover sleeve with classic and newly commissioned art plus another of their well produced glossy insert booklets.

Synopsis:
Umberto Lenzi's Nightmare City is a fast paced and deliriously campy gorefest from the golden age of spaghetti splatter cinema produced a year before the director subjected the world to his infamous and equally notorious Cannibal Ferox. Coming hot of the heels of Romero's incredibly popular and seminal Dawn of the Dead and Fulci's granddaddy of Italian morto vivente movies Zombie Flesh Eaters this was often incorrectly marketed as a walking dead movie despite director Umberto Lenzi being very insistent (especially in the special features on this very disc) that there are no zombies present in Nightmare City and that the vampiric ghouls in his movie have been contaminated by a huge dose of radiation and need human blood to survive. In fact despite being predominant in the Italian film industry at the time and working in pretty much every other conceivable category Lenzi never contributed to the Euro zombie sub-genre during it's hey day (the voodoo flick Black Demons didn't come till 1991) and was far better known for his cannibal films, tough poliziotteschi and giallo movies of the 70s.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsGROUNDHOG DAY FOR ZOMBIES
By B FAN on 23 Aug. 2015
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
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

4.0 out of 5 starsAbsurd, chaotic and a whole lot of fun
By Sean The Prawn on 2 Sept. 2015
Format: Blu-ray
Nightmare City (1980)

When director Umberto Lenzi was approached to helm Nightmare City he was presented with an original script for a short film about zombies. Lenzi balked at the idea feeling that the material should be longer and, more importantly for him, not about zombies. He considered that George A. Romero had covered zombies fully by then with both his original Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead and there was little more he could add. Instead Lenzi adapted the script using the Seveso incident of July 1976 fine-tuning it into a film that attacks the military and the effects of chemicals on the enviroment. What he has actually made is a pure exploitation film.
There is a plot of sorts but don't dwell on it because no one involved in the writing of this film did. It's frankly absurd. Local television news reporter Dean Miller (Hugo Stiglitz) arrives at an airport with his cameraman. They are there to cover the arrival of famous doctor Professor Hagenbeck. Quite how they know the scientist is arriving there is never made clear as no one else at the airport is aware of the plane arriving and are treating it with the highest level of suspicion. Just as well really as when the plane's doors open out pop a tonne of blood-thirsty creatures who waste no time chowing down on the soldiers.

Rather oddly the infected fail to notice Dean and his cameraman - and rather conveniently too as the plot needs Dean to get the word out and warn the public - not that anyone will listen of course. It appears that the plane that Dean saw spill out its deadly formerly-human cargo had been exposed to radiation. It's a form of radiation that doesn't seem to affect the creatures too adversely, they can still run and chase potential victims.Read more ›
