Review of Teenage Zombies

Notorious Grade Z hackmeister supreme Jerry Warren doesn't do it again with this stunningly stinky schlocker about a bunch of dippy teenagers (the chronically colorless Don Sullivan of "The Giant Gila Monster" fame among 'em) who discover evil lady mad scientist Dr. Myra (the delightfully vampy Katherine Victor) and her lumbering zombie assistant Ivan (legendary jazz radio disc jockey Chuck Niles sporting dark raccoon-like circles around his eyes) on a remote small island. The dastardly Dr. Myra is turning hapless folks into mindless easily controlled automatons in a harebrained scheme to conquer America. It's up to the kids to foil her before it's too late. Boy, does this so-awful-it's-oddly-entertaining atrocity possess all the so-utterly-wrong-that-they're-paradoxically-right peculiarly appealing shoddy bad film stuff: pitifully limp'n'lifeless direction, a generic shuddery'n'ominous film library score, crude, static, scratchy photography (there's an appalling surplus of hideously flat and ugly master shots featured throughout), hopelessly stiff acting, infrequent outbursts of poorly staged (non)action, plodding pacing, choice clunky dialogue ("They look doped. Or dead. Or something"), and even some guy in a laughably obvious and unconvincing moth-eaten gorilla suit. An endearingly inept ramshackle mess of a low-budget camp howler.
