STRAIGHT TO VIDEO PRESENTS NIGHTMARE AT NOON (1988)

This June: what happens when a government experiment poisons the water supply of a sleepy desert town? In Nightmare at Noon, the locals turn into green-bleeding homicidal maniacs, leaving sheriff George Kennedy, fired cop Bo Hopkins, and an utterly unhinged Wings Hauser to fight back against the madness. Directed by Greek exploitation legend Nico Mastorakis, this gloriously chaotic B-movie throws zombies, conspiracies, flamethrowers, motorcycle stunts, and endless exploding cars into one delirious package.

Part sci-fi paranoia thriller, part action movie, part zombie mayhem, Nightmare at Noon constantly escalates into increasingly absurd territory, including an overly long helicopter battle. Featuring manic villainy from Brion James and enough pyrotechnics for three movies, this cult oddity is exactly the kind of loud, messy, wildly entertaining VHS-era insanity that Straight to Video was made for.
