Yeah, see all you mainstream movie critics?! 28 Days Later wasn't the first horror film to give us fast moving 'zombies'! Lenzi beat Danny Boyle to the punch years earlier!

I absolutely love NC. A prime example of 'so-bad-it's-good' Italian exploitation and this energetic effort does have some legit saving graces in the form of Hans Burman's suitably doom-laden synth score, an exciting final reel and a barrage of 'zombie' assaults. There's never a dull moment in NC.
