Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis production is widely considered by critics and fans as one of the worst zombie movies ever made, always appearing included in books, magazines, websites and all kinds of media within the list of the biggest missteps of this subgenre.
- GoofsIt's very obvious that all the "underwater" shots of the lake were shot in a swimming pool: during the first murder of the girl after the opening credits, you can even see an exit sign through the water. Near the end of the movie, as the Zombie are rising to the top, we can clearly see a bare pool wall.
- Alternate versionsSeveral of the scenes involving nudity were re-shot with the actresses wearing clothes. These alternate "clothed scenes" are included as extras on the Image Entertainment "EuroShock Collection" DVD. The alternate scenes are as follows:
- The girl who goes skinny dipping at the beginning now swims in her underwear
- The volleyball girls go into the lake wearing t-shirts and panties
- The girl who runs into the pub now wears a revealing shirt instead of appearing topless
- ConnectionsFeatured in Zombiethon (1986)
Featured review
Schlockiness at its finest.
A must-see for WWII militaria collectors, reenactors, and historians. Watch this around a big screen TV with a bunch of your buddies and lots of beer and you'll laugh your asses off, then bury the tape in the back yard and never see it again.
Brief plot: A group of Nazi soldiers in Italy are killed by the local resistance and dumped into a lake, but not before one of them impregnates a local girl. The soldiers 'somehow' emerge from the lake several years later as zombies and start killing off naked babes.
The movie is impossible to take seriously. The total budget of the film was probably $75, including the tape in the camera. It was like a bunch of teenage boys with a weekend to kill got hold of a video camera and said, 'Hey, I got a bunch of old Swedish uniforms. Let's pin swastikas to them, paint our faces green, and walk around like Frankenstien with a load in his pants while pulling topless women into the lake.' The fact that it was filmed in French and dubbed (poorly) into English only adds to the schlockiness.
I only hope that the director had as much fun making this film as I did watching it, because I pity them if they thought they were cranking out competent cinema.
