No Hope November - Day 25 - "Shock Waves"

No Hope November is featuring an amazingly overlooked sub genre of horror, the underwater Nazi zombie. "Shock Waves" is a 1977 film in which a luxury boat is out for a three hour tour, no wait, that's Gilligans Island. Shock Waves is about a boat that crashes onto a reef and the passengers make it to an island that has a big old abandoned hotel on it. Except, it's not abandoned, but rather it is occupied by an old Nazi officer, played brilliantly by Peter Cushing. Come to find out the island is also the home to a leftover experiment from World War 2. Seems that the Nazis were creating undead super soldiers and this is where the last 8 of them are located. These suckers look so cool, they walk around on the ocean floor and do all kinds of crazy stuff. They make for great foes for our bumbling group to deal with. This is a totally odd movie that sounds so ridiculous yet plays out rather interestingly. Not a lot of blood and gore to be found, mainly atmosphere and creepy zombies making sure no one survives their island experience .You must have specific tastes to enjoy this one, and I enjoy it a lot. I feel it is the cream of the crop when it comes to underwater Nazi zombie movies. Check out Shock Waves.
