A TV reporter (Hugo Stiglitz) spreads the news of radioactive monsters, growing in number with every victim.

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.

Rated: 2.5/4

Cinefantastique

This profound subversion of our critical and aesthetic assumptions confronts us - like a logical paradox that seems both true and false - with a film that seems both awful and entertaining.

Rated: 2/5

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

Classic Italian/spaghetti horror. One of 85 million variations of “Living Dead” films, of course. There’s some very slow moving parts with a horrible soundtrack, but the death scenes are way over the top, epic, and hilarious! Had me CTFU!

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

This is a really bad and painfully boring Italian zombie film. It suffers from all the normal Italian problems - terrible script, bad acting, atrocious dubbing and has no redeeming features except for a bit of violence and nudity here and there. The characters are so stupid in this to the point that it becomes frustrating at times. There is no reason to watch this. In fact there is no reason to watch Italian horror except for Zombie (1979). It is amazing how bad this film is. I just wanted it to end. And then the end is so terrible - it is not original, it is not big and it is not clever.

Nightmare City is definitely a zombie horror film it's extremely gory and graphic and it has some good plot and a twist that you won't to be missed.

Not on par with other zombie movies, but fast moving zombies, that know how to fight with weapons are scary.
