I have to step up to the plate and say I like this one. I have seen all of the euro-zombie B or lover movie list that I'm aware of. Including such slop as Burial Ground, Zombie Lake, Zombie 3, Nightmare city, Hell of the Living Dead, and Zombie Holocaust to name a few. Those movies I can say did nothing to peak my interest other than to give me a few good ideas at Halloween costumes. But this one I have to say for some strange reason, I like. True..it is very low budget, but I can see as a kid I would have loved this.
On some imaginary level..it works. I love the drum and sheik music, the desert oasis thing with the gold, and the dead Nazi guardians of the ill gotten means. I liked the clay like zombie make-up( at least they weren't green like in zombie lake), and the special effects were masked in a way that it just wasn't stupid-out-rite obvious it was fake. I did laugh and enjoy this film for all it's many flaws. I can't recommend all of Franco's films. But if you want a cheap zombie movie that at least can stand with say Shockwaves or Fulci's Zombie, this one I'd give a try. I did order a used copy for my zombie private stash. |
