There they meet up with Nazi-scientist Peter Cushing who urges them to leave, for not only did the shipwreck force them to enter the island, it also brought to it a horde of Nazi zombies (created by cushing as the ultimate weapon or the <i>Toten-korps</i>). Soon our little group of passengers & boatsmen starts dying one by one (with Carradine being the first), & their attempt to leave the island leads nowhere when they lose their rowing boat &, on the island, do everything to get seperated from one another (don't ask why !). Of course everyone ends up dead - including Cushing -, except for Brook Adams, who manages to escape in <i>another</i> rowing-boat. <p> </p> <p>Moody 70's horror trash about Nazi zombies - who look nice in their uniforms with sunglasses -, that doesn't really live up to its promises, but then, films about <i>Nazi-zombies</i> rarely do - Nazi-zombies is probably just too good a concept to be treated accordingly. This one is rather devoid of characterizations of our central characters, while the supporting characters are little more than pale caricatures, & it is full of gaping plotholes. The locations look great though (& are filmed accordingly), lending a creepy atmosphere to the proceedings without resorting to the usual clichés. &, when Brooke Adams & Luke Halpin hide from the Nazis in <i>an oven</i>, that's at least worth a chuckle or two.</p> <p>  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top" height="1%">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2003"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
