Nightmare City is definitely worth checking out.
CG gore is the worst thing that has ever happened to the horror genre.

Yeah I wasn't a fan of Eyeball either. harsh on Ghosthouse though.
Check out his Almost Human (1974), it's a nicely gritty Dirty Harry knock off.
Hey, look at that! She's not crazy, she's being chased by a cheetah!

Almost Human (1974)
Second the rec for Nightmare City
House of Lost Souls (1989) isn't bad.
Hell's Gate has its moments and is somewhat amusing overall.

I've only seen Cannibal Ferox and Welcome to Spring Break. Both were just okay. I actually liked Welcome to Spring Break but felt it just needed more gore. Cannibal Ferox was okay but I liked Dr. Butcher M.D. so much better.

Dr Butcher is awesome and one of the more overlooked Zombie flicks it seems, plus the Cannibal addition was pretty cool. I much prefer the title also, as over my way it was called Zombie Holocaust, which is a bit generic.

The ones I have seen:
So Sweet, So Perverse (1969) - 4/10
Oasis of Fear (1971) - 7/10
Deep River Savages (1972) - 6/10
Knife of Ice (1972) - 6/10
Seven Blood Stained Orchids (1972) - 8/10
Spasmo (1974) - 8/10
Almost Human (1974) - 7/10
Eyeball (1975) - 7/10
Manhunt in the City (1975) - 7/10
Violent Naples (1976) - 6/10
Eaten Alive (1980) - 6/10
Nightmare City (1980) - 7/10
Lenzi definitely made entertaining films of various genres. I kind of like his sledgehammer approach to directing. He never brought subtlety or understatedness to the table at any point that I am aware of and that is part of his appeal.
