Now they are everywhere! There is no escape!
Film Synopsis
Nightmare City (1980) follows a television reporter assigned to cover a nuclear-related incident who arrives at an airport as an unmarked military aircraft lands. As deformed, blood-drinking assailants emerge from the plane and begin attacking civilians, authorities attempt to suppress information while the reporter struggles to warn others and locate his wife amid the spreading violence. This science fiction horror film develops mounting pressure and growing unease, with contagion, institutional control, and social collapse shaping events.
