一股近乎不可见的僵尸文化暗流竟出自于意大利铅黄时期。暗流则指高速行动的迅猛僵尸——核泄漏/现代科技产物异化人类。但本片严格来讲是一种狂暴或者说暴怒病毒,并且病毒仍在进化,从具有一般人类知觉和活动能力过渡到活死人。|70s开始竞争力疲软的欧洲电影市场充斥着暴力、色情、身体裸露等剥削元素。
I am awestruck by this movie. Fast zombies that can use weapons, even guns, and are capable of intelligent thought. They plot a strategic offensive to take over the city, hitting the airport, then the TV stations and the power plant. If you love horror, gory, and violent movies and don't mind a little bad acting, then you will LOVE this movie. It is exciting and even a bit suspenseful. It starts out fast and hard and maintains a steady pace of mayhem and carnage. I can't believe more people haven't seen this film. I have yet to meet a horror movie buff that has seen this film before. It is a true gemstone of European horror and exploitation, definitely up to par with the classics of the genre such as Zombi 2, Demons, House by the Cemetery, etc. And it's even readily available uncut (92 minutes) on DVD from Anchor Bay (under the title "Nightmare City") and on VHS under the title "City of the Walking Dead." Super gory and violent, a must for fans of Italian grind house flicks.
