Review

Get ready to plunge headfirst into a radioactive bloodbath where the undead don’t just stagger—they hunt with vicious, snarling fury! An unauthorized plane lands, unleashing a tidal wave of flesh-ripping, brain-munching maniacs hellbent on turning the city into their personal feeding ground. Brace yourself for eighty minutes of non-stop chaos, where bullets bounce off the unstoppable horde and the living run screaming into the inferno. The zombie makeup? Questionable. The acting? Laughably awful. The plot? A wild ride through cinematic madness that’ll have you cheering for the freaks over the dumb, doomed humans. But don’t mistake this for a failure—this is pure gonzo gold! Smart zombies who pilot planes, wield guns, and plan attacks with savage precision? You bet. The insane set pieces slam into your eyeballs with the force of a sledgehammer. And the sheer lunacy of the survivors’ boneheaded decisions will have you doubled over in disbelief. Imagine chilling with a coffee and Camel while the city burns and zombies close in—only to make a Molotov cocktail that blows up your only ride! Nightmare City is a wild, no-budget frenzy packed with mad energy, unintentional comedy, and enough mayhem to fuel a hundred exploitation flicks. Strap in, hold tight, and prepare for one hell of a brutal, blood-soaked nightmare!
