I'm not an expert on zombie movies, but I think this might be the first
instance of zombies that can not only use guns and other weapons, but also start
a lawnmower and even fly airplanes! A mysterious airplane lands at the airport
and like a fucking clown car at the circus, an endless stream of pissed off
zombies emerge and start attacking everybody in sight. Before long, the horde
has rampaged all over the city and started multiplying. A reporter and his
doctor wife drive around all over the joint getting attacked nonstop.
The makeup looks like shit and the special effects are crap, but NIGHTMARE CITY
is still very entertaining mainly because it never lets up. The entire movie is
just one long ridiculous action scene. Pretty much the entire story is the dildo
and his wife running around all over the place acting like morons, but still
somehow managing to stay alive.
You'll probably forget the entire movie within a month of watching it, but it's
fun and you'll get a lot of laughs out of it: terrible acting; zombies standing
directly in front of the camera posing; a random dog literally
playing with the zombies; the stupidity of the two main characters;
female nipple cut off, the horrible makeup; multiple times people standing still
then suddenly jumping into action; woman's head exploding then in the next shot
she's dead with just a little bloody spot on her forehead; Mel Ferrer saying "
Aim for the brain!"; a zombie getting beat up by a guy using a blanket for a weapon; a TV that
explodes into a huge fireball; the completely random harpoon gun and much more.
Check it out for a laugh.
Hosts, Donald Pleasence and Nancy Allen, sit in a theater full of yelling dorks
and narrate over a bunch of horror/thriller movie clips. Despite the movie
selection being all from mainstream stuff, TERROR IN THE AISLES is a quick and
fun introduction to popular pre-1984 horror. Most of the movies selected
are exactly what you would expect (THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE,
HALLOWEEN,
THE EXORCIST), but there's a few oddballs that make no sense: NIGHTHAWKS, FAHRENHEIT 451,
MIDNIGHT EXPRESS and TO CATCH A THIEF. What the hell?
