I originally saw this film many years ago. Saw it again last year and loved it. You can really see what the director was trying to achieve with a quite limited budget. The screen shines every time Peter Cushing appears. It's too bad he didn't have a bigger part but they had him for only 5 days of shooting. Following that, he had to leave as he was required on the set of a film called "Star Wars". Also, one can see the makes of Dead Snow were highly influenced by Shock Waves.
Finally saw this movie last year(Oct.'10)for the first time.During the 1980's,remember the trailers on vhs video.During the late 1990s and early 2000 years,advertisement & reviews in horror movie magazines.
Hard for me to fathom that this was the year 'Star Wars' came out; and I used to wonder what was on the competing screens? Some parts of the 70's should be left locked up and forgotten.
@drafe007 Well if they are not dead...I will just wake them up "HERE ZOMBIE! ZOMBIE MONSTER I HAVE SOME FRESH MEAT FOR YOU!! ZOMBIE-ZOMBIE!!! You see now that is what I call a ex nazi
OH YEAH ,,,, this was one of the good ones - real campy & twisted zombie movie!!! Almost forgot it existed.
You're gonna want plenty of cheese puffs, beer, and something illegal to smoke while watching this one. Hash works best for this film in my professional opinion.
I have never seen the trailer for this and I saw this back in the 90's when i was a kid. Scary movie. Love to see it again.

This film is GOLD! Full of camp and cheese, but still pretty dam awesome, and entertaining.
I remember seeing it on USA's Saturday Nightmares back in the late 80's and rented it from Netflix about 8 years ago.
It was recently posted on youtbe but got taken down. I gotta add this beaut to my collection. It's definitely worthy of it!

fantastic movie. One of the true lost horror gems of the 1970s.
HORRIBLE trailer. None of the really good shots of the underwater nazis and no
shots of Peter Cushing. Lame

I recommend watching this movie on VHS. It looks better and gives the film a better mood.

Hell, the POSTER of this movie scared the crap out of me.
Does anybody know if it was inspired by the finale of the Illuminatus! Trilogy?

This film has been dubbed "Best of the Nazi zombie movies." Now that doesn't say a lot, considering the slim competition:
"Oasis of the Zombies" (aka "Bloodsucking Nazi Zombies") is easily one of the worst movies I have ever suffered through most of. True crap snore-fest.
"Zombie Lake" I have not seen, but I have heard is also a real stinkeroony.
THIS film, however, I have heard only glowing recommendations for. I can't wait until I can get my hands on a copy on DVD.

Oscar winner. Hands down.
This film is pretty good, highly recommended. But I agree with someone else, I don't think this came out in '77.

Nothing spiced up a B-movie like Peter Cushing! The man's screen presence could negate the lesser aspects of even the cheesiest script.

Good point, rqbuchanan!
With all of the garbage coming out of Hollywood these days, Mr.Cushing, IMO, may deserve a posthumous belated Oscar!
