NIGHTMARE CITY (1980- Arrow bluray).
Not content with animal (and audience) cruelty with his cannibal movies, Umberto Lenzi gave us this hugely enjoyable video nasty in which a planeload of porridge-faced radioactive passengers disembark at Madrid airport and slaughter anyone nearby with machetes and axes whilst exposing as many victims' boobs as the director can get away with. Loosely based on a Charlotte Bronte novella (so loosely that I'm lying), its absurdity is great fun. Plus you get Mel Ferrer giving every ounce of gravitas this movie doesn't deserve. As Lenzi himself emphatically states in the interview: "They are NOT zombies. They are vampires". Err...okay.
