Audience Member "Let the dead bury the dead."-The Sheik (Antonio Mayans) Technically speaking, OASIS OF THE ZOMBIES Aka GRAVE OF THE LIVING DEAD is down right horrible. But it's not the worst nazi zombie film out there, try Franco's ZOMBIE LAKE. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member THINGS I LEARNED WATCHING THIS MOVIE! 1. High heels are great for the desert. So are jean cut offs, even though all the men have their shirts OFF or open to plunging depths of belly button hair. 2. The British used US Army jeeps in the North African theater of World War II. 3. You come first is not a promise. 4. Most of the budget went up the actor's noses. In fact there is one scene where you can actually see the coke on his nose (1:00:47). 5. Even jeeps are difficult to drive in the sand! 6. While it takes nearly ten minutes for the zombies to emerge from the sand, when the sun rises they vanish! 7. If it takes all you friends getting eaten to find "yourself" you might be a jerk. 8. Sand burns really well and some times explodes! WHAT IT TOOK TO MAKE THIS MOVIE! A spider. A still of some Arabian desert architecture. Four Camels. Five jeeps. Some old German military equipment. A couple of earth worms. NO Exterior lights, since the night is filmed in the middle of the afternoon. One special effects record for the howling night wind and crickets and exotic jungle birds that will not stop squawking. Organ music really sets the mood! At least one fake skull. oh and a few pyrotechnics! Quote of the movie - "Lets get some bottles and make Molotov cocktails - like in school!" I wouldn't say avoid this one, since its a Franco classic, I would just warn you that you are in for a really annoying movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Or Oasis of the Zombies according to #16 of 50 chilling classics. I'd read that this was really really boring but I was pleasantly surprised. I watched it over 3 nights, which is probably not a great sign for an 85 min film but you know enough happened, there were some tits, the zombies looked pretty good for the few minutes we saw them. How bad can a film be in which nazi zombies look after nazi gold? Well, now you find out for yourself http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7436986526211161686 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
