Widow Peters (Marjorie Eaton), who has lived in a nearby mansion all of her life and who has lost her husband to zombies decades ago, is more than willing to offer Harrison and company abode, but she also warns them of the zombies - not that Harrison and crew would believe her ... but then Harrison's wife (Allison Hayes) is abducted, and when she's freed from the zombies she is one of them, for better or worse (well, mostly worse).<p>In the meantime, Harrison's diver Jeff (Gregg Palmer) makes friends with the widow's granddaughter Jan (Autumn Russell), and soon has his hands full saving her from the zombies, but that won't change his determnation to dive after the treasure. Of course, when trying to retrieve the treasure, Harrison, Jeff and company are attacked by zombies, and it doesn't help at all that the men start fighting among one another because Harrison believes the others want to steal his treasure ... and ultimately he makes a getaway with the treasure and his wife, not accepting his wife's a zombie now ... ouch!<p>Well, in the end all our heroes are surrounded by zombies when Jeff finally does the decent thing and scatters the treasure, which makes the zombies vanish into thin air. He gets the girl (Jan) as a reward for it, too.<p> <p><b>Zombies of Mora Tau</b> is most certainly not a great film, but it's an enjoyable little horror thriller, not high on originality, but well-paced and directed with some care, especially given the limited budget. And some scenes are genuinely creepy, including underwater sequences that found their way into the much later cult zombie shocker <b><a href="zombi2(1979).shtml">Zombie Flesh Eaters</a></b>.<p>So don't expect greatness and you'll find yourself something enjoyable in a slightly schlocky sort of way. <p>  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top" height="1%">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2013"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
