The zombie apocalypse has just hit blue collar Australia. Darryl, a mid-twenties telecom tradesman and larrikin Aussie bloke, gets trapped in a telephone exchange with several of his co-workers. Although the world has gone to ruin, Darryl is still trying to convince his bosses Roy and Joel to let him join his prestigious indoor cricket team. Two things stand in his way: the current zombie apocalypse and the fact that Darryl has killed Roy's now-zombie wife and had sex with his daughter, Emma. .
UK BIG SCREEN PREMIERE... REMASTERED VERSION...
NIGHTMARE CITY ...
Director: Umberto Lenzi (1980) Italy
Stars: Hugo Stiglitz, Laura Trotter, Maria Rosaria Omaggio
Long before zombies took up jogging in 28 Days Later and Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead remake, they were brandishing axes and other sharp implements in Umberto Lenzi's utterly insane radiation-sickness opus Nightmare City. In true Zombie Flesh Eaters form, our story begins with the arrival of an ominous, seemingly unmanned craft – in this instance, a military plane making an unscheduled landing at a European airport. Upon forcing the aircraft doors open, the waiting soldiers get a nasty shock when out bursts a horde of flesh-hungry, pizza-faced radioactive ghouls.

Her stepmother Caroline asks Wade to take their little kids to her sister's house to keep them safe. While Maggie is slowly transformed, Wade stays with her protecting Maggie.
