Ian R One of the few good and original zombie flicks NOT made by George Romero. The images of the soldiers walking underwater without any artificial breathing apparatus are really creepy, surreal, and memorable. I've always wondered if THAT perhaps inspired the scene with the amphibious ghoul in Fulci's Zombie. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/26/23 Full Review Sebastian D Concept was strong, acting was good, and writing was good. I think it deserves to float to the top of the island horror movie genre. The Nazi zombie angle will always be an interesting start. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/08/23 Full Review DWil M Other comments have said it all...best Nazi Zombie film fo sho Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/13/23 Full Review Kit V If you are a fan of Nazi Zombie Horror or a completist of the genre then this film is a must-see because it is a fairly early player in the modern genre with a great appearance from Peter Cushing. A lot has been made of the small budget, and the rather ingenious way that the directors hid the lack of funds, was to provide a cheap and easy game of cat and mouse between zombie Nazis and a group of folks marooned on a small island. If you are looking for more than that then don't even try; no block-busting scores or amazingly clever twists occur here, instead, we find a film that works more on atmosphere than performance. The Zombies are well done but they creep around knocking off the victims in a rather slow and methodical way, no teeth chattering or angry snarls can be seen or heard. This film was after all created before the great Zombie flicks to come were conceived but it is an important moment in horror. It is films like this that laid the framework for other directors (with bigger budgets) to put the record straight and create the Zombie flick as we know it. Watch this one because you are a fan of Peter Cushing or a lover of B movies that could have been truly great. To me, this film is wonderful because it makes do with what it has and tells a simple story. It just doesn't bite hard enough... Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Saw Shockwaves first on late night TV, then VHS, then DVD, and now Blu Ray. The movie has become a cult status and the bluvray had a ton of bonus files including I believe multiple commentaries. I was around 16 when I first and now 60. The Nazi occult focus is more realistic than any of the gonzo horror shows like Red Snow, etc. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Ok, good atmosphere but not horrific enough. Has menace but doesn't act on it . Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
