The 70s were a good time as far as horror went, probably one of my favorite decades. Things were still scummy back then and filmmakers didn’t have to worry about being P.C. Shock Waves wasn’t that gory or out of control but it was part of a small category of nazi zombie flix. I don’t consider this movie to be racist at all it’s just different.
This flix revolves around a shipwrecked yachting party. Rose and her fellow yacht-mates, including the captain run aground on an island when they hit an odd-looking freighter. Once beached, they meet up with an aging SS Commander who had been in charge of a crew of zombies. The zombies were an experiment that went out of control, an SS death squad that wouldn’t die. Now Rose and her companions must try to escape the island before the undead soldiers add to the death count.
Shock Waves is kind of a slow movie and don’t expect a whole lot of gore. I do own this movie though and it is a good mindless zombie flix. I think only true fans of the genera would appreciate it.
