    Well i thought going into this movie i was gonna be seeing something else i dont know if it was the dvd cover or what but i kinda felt mislead into thinking this was gonna be a zombie movie but that wasnt the case at all. the movie kicks off with a bunch of people that chartered ...( read more)this small boat of course u got the complaining guy onboard fast forward its night the boat gets run into by a *ghost ship* they seek a island for safety and come face to face with nazi super soldiers that have been under water for decades.ok movie not top notch peter cushings role was decent and worth checking out but no blood or gore here overall 3 stars

    Great concept, great creature design just slow but then you gotta remember that bad pacing is what effects most cult horror

    EDIT: Like I said above pacing effects most cult horror and shouldn't even be a factor, movie is great.

    Ultra creepy zombie film. Not bloody but definatly atmosphereic. Nazi zombies wreck havoc on a bunch of castaways. Peter Cushing plays a mad Nazi Dr.

    Pretty good movie. One of the better nazi z...( read more)ombie flicks. The zombies on this movie are undead nazi super soldiers.. its not very gory since the zombies just strangle and drown their victims.. some pretty funny scenes. The acting is not the best, though there is some good acting momments. The whole trapped on the island with the soldiers patroling is creepy. These soldiers are suppose to be super soldiers, but just remove their goggles and they will blindly fall to the ground and decompose. Don't watch this movie expecting an island of cannablistic undead zombies biting people to peices.. these are slow moving undead soliders who are more like robots or something from the old Doctor Who series in their movements, oh and these zombies are brutal killing machines and don't favour the taste of human flesh.. they just strangle people.

    Probably a better underwater nazi zombie film than Zombie Lake but the film lacked a certain something. Since I didn't care for any of the characters I didn't care what happened to them resulting in a loss of suspense.

    This premise of this movie had so much potential, sadly i...( read more)t was a potential not fully realised.

    By no means an awful film and was extremely watchable as an adventure but failed as a horror.

    Perhaps a little sluggish, but you can't go wrong with Peter Cushing and Nazi zombies.
