Scalpel throwing surgeon...

That part made me laugh the most out of an already cheezy movie.

The opening scene was pretty great too.

What's up with most foreign zombie movies featuring zombies who's only zombie-defining characteristics is an accumulation of crap on their faces? I guess that's how you know somebody's a zombie, they have a pile of sh it on their faces?

Also, I groaned at the "it was all a bad dream" part at the end. I know it went further to explain that it was going to happen again, but come on. Maybe that wasn't as overplayed in 1980 as it is now.

That scene was great. Then the zombie took it out and stabbed the doctor, without the doctor trying to run or even scream.

I completely agree about the "crap on their faces." It was extremely dissapointing. But then again, I watched City of the Living Dead right before watching Nightmare City, and the zombies in that really look great. Still, as one IMDb user said, the "hamburger heads" just looked silly..

Trashtastic.

That surgeon is awesome. And your right, its like the infected people plopped their head in piles of cow sh it before going out and killing people.

It's too bad the surgeon didn't put up more of a fight - his apparent resourcefulness warranted longer screen time, if you ask me. =D I haven't watched this movie in a few years, but i remember it being really dumb. And it could've used a lot more blood.

He did it so quickly that it was unclear if he realized he was attacking a zombie, or if he just had a scalpel-throwing knee-jerk reaction to being interrupted. Especially because he was becoming so irritated with the noise in the hallway.

The surgeon was great, I also liked the plasma bottle sucking zombie!
