Greetings, friends! Welcome once again to the home of your favourite cult cinema captives. Life here on Island X has been relatively quiet of late, which worries me slightly. Not much to do but settle in and watch some movies.
This week’s journey into the vaults of classic cult brings us Umberto Lenzi’s Nightmare City. This film was part of the original zombie craze that lurched into cinema’s back in the late 70s and early 80s. Amongst other things, this week we dicuss whether it suceeds as a nihilistic zombie classic or not and whether it’s required viewing for any serious zombie scholar, not to mention quesy wig porn and zombie tactics. Enjoy!
