All Things Zombie – Movie Reviews – Shock Waves (1976)

http://www.allthingszombie.com/movies/shockwaves.php

Two words. Nazi Zombies. I was watching Meatballs II on TV when I was a kid and there was a scene where all the campers were in one cabin watching a scary movie. What they showed was like a 5 second clip from this movie and I knew I had to see it. The clip was of this white haired corps-like man in a black uniform rising up from still water wearing these black goggles. When I finally found out that the name of the movie was “Shock Waves (1977)” and I got a copy I guess I was about 17 years old. When I looked at the back of the box I saw that it was starring Peter Cushing, I can’t even tell you how exhilarating that moment was. I worshiped Cushing for his work with Hammer studios. I watched it and let me tell you brother this is the worst movie that I love. This film has had so much ripped off from it, it’s pathetic. They need to remake it with the kind of budget it deserves. And they need to dump some 2-4-5 trioxin on Peter Cushing’s mouldering body so he can reprise his roll.
