I've yet to actually watch this one, plan on giving it a go later tonight. But I can already tell that analysis will be futile, serious and/or comical musings obsolete. This one is pure, trashy-tasting cheese, in the strictest sense. All I know about Umberto Lenzi's Nightmare City is that its structure gives the impression that Robert Rodriguez used it as one his many influenes while conceptualizing Planet Terror, and that its a mutant-zombie flick that includes some of the worst makeup effects imaginable.
Something to do with a news reporter tracking a sudden mutant-zombie apocalypse, one that leaves its victims-turned-assailants' faces into spreads of boils, zits, fungi, and Spencers'-gag-quality Halloween accessories. And these creeps are real perverts, copping feels on sexy ladies before slicing their nipples off, sometimes even licking a breast or two for kicks. Yeah, it's that kind of movie.
At the very least, I'm hoping for some cheap laughs and good times. Anything resembling a "good film" will probably send me into shock, but I need not worry. Just check this clip out, it pretty much sets the stage as convincingly as any scene could:
Should come as no surprise that Quentin Tarantino seems to be a fan. One of the characters in Inglourious Basterds is named "Hugo Stiglitz," also the name of Nightmare's City lead actor. Some nerd trivia for that ass, free of cost.
