Yeah, Outpost is really good. Filmed a few miles from where I grew up in Scotland. My horrible blog: http://igloooftheuncanny.blogspot.com/

The Nazi zombies were fine, and the location and general atmosphere was suitable, but the acting, direction, and editing were weak and i still don't know what the ending was all about. Why do I have to waste my time outwitting morons?

Haha if a SHOCK WAVES detractor has never seen ZOMBIE LAKE then they should take some painkillers and strap themselves into an easy chair. ZOMBIE LAKE makes SHOCK WAVES crackle with nonstop excitement by comparison...and neither are as boring and time consuming as OASIS OF THE ZOMBIES,another cure for chronic sleeplessness.

Whenever i hear that name all i can think about is how a friend of mine bought a used copy at a video store ages ago. I would ask him how the movie was on a daily basis and every time his answer was the same,"I tried to watch it but i fell asleep about 10 minutes in!". This went on for several weeks haha.

When they find the cook dead in the pond , then they notice the zombie just silently standing across the way watching them ... It's so subtle but that scene sends a chill down my spine. Kneeteartap

(And would you count THE FROZEN DEAD as an early entry?) We've got what, ZOMBIE LAKE (Jess Franco & Jean Rollin!), OASIS OF THE ZOMBIES (Franco again)...have not really tried to track them all down for video viewing, but I know there are more. I gave great consideration to this very question last year. Tackling it from the point of view that Nazis and Zombies are a perfect combination, why haven't we gotten more of them? Anyway, I tracked down and watched all that I could find and there really aren't very many of them. Glenn Kay's book Zombies Movies: The Ultimate Guide helped a lot. Great book, if you haven't read it. Take a look I love Shockwaves and Dead Snow nearly equally but for completely different reasons. The filler in between really has been weak sauce, in my opinion.
