Umberto Lenzi

 The quintessential euro-trash director. Are any of Lenzi's 70+ films actually any good? Well, they're visceral... that counts for something.

There's trouble at the old nuclear power plant! "When a radioactive spill causes mass contamination, thousands of infected citizens are transformed into bloodthirsty undead fiends. But these are not your standard stumbling gut-munchers; this is an all-out attack by fast-moving, flesh-ripping, ass-kicking maniacs that can only be stopped by a bullet to the brain. Get ready for an all-you-can-eat buffet of gunfire, gore and gratuitous aerobics where zombies run, chaos reigns and heads explode. This is NIGHTMARE CITY! Hugo Stiglitz (SURVIVE!), Mel Ferrer (THE ANTICHRIST) and Francisco Rabal (BELLE DE JOUR) star in this wild splatterfest directed by the notorious Umberto Lenzi (CANNIBAL FEROX, EATEN ALIVE). Originally released in America as the heavily-edited CITY OF THE WALKING DEAD, NIGHTMARE CITY has been newly transferred from original vault materials and is now proudly presented completely uncut and uncensored." "Lenzi's zombies are the most energetic of their kind ever to hit the screen!" ~DVD Drive-In
