Miller (Hugo Stiglitz) is a reporter on to something when he sees passengers disembark from a plane and start attacking and murdering whomever they come across -- no, they are not upset with their service, they are zombies -- or more accurately ghouls who need human blood to stay alive. While flight… More

Critic Reviews

  • Eric Henderson, Slant Magazine

    Zombie fans: run, don't walk! Well, maybe just move briskly. Don't break a sweat, but keep yourself hydrated. With water, not blood. Oh, and wear clothing that breathes.

  • Eric Henderson, Slant Magazine

    Both the crypto-zombies of Nightmare City and the film itself are fast-paced sons of bitches without so much as a whisper of a thought inside their heads.

  • Alex Sandell, Juicy Cerebellum

    The movie is piled high with cheese, but makes for a tasty guilty pleasure.

  • Alan Simpson, Sex Gore Mutants

    one of the craziest dumb *** zombie rides ever committed to celluloid

    One of my favourites from Lenzi. Completely crazy and fast-paced from the start. Full of violence and decaying lunatics who run amok killing at will. Similar to The Cazies and 28 Days Later - this is an INFECTION movie, not a ZOMBIE movie. Felt a little cheated by the ending but… More

    Sit down and watch 80s Italian horror with me and I'll be your best friend. How could you hate something so blissfully inept and campy? I mean, unless you're a terrible person. The zombies look like someone shat all over their faces, but the only people really getting shat… More
