Why? Why?!?! WHY???

Why do I watch this sh!t????

Ok... it starts out in North Africa , with a couple low lifes stealing a map in search of  $ 6 million in Nazi gold.
It leads them to an oasis littered with pieces of junk metal with swastikas painted on them and bones. They are attacked by some long-haired nazi zombies. Then the whole movie meanders in circles- with some zombie attacks on some of the stupidest people on planet earth. But it was all worth it...because, at the end, an Arab guy on a horse asks the sole survivoir " Did you find what you were looking for ?"...and the punk says wistfully-dig this-
" Yes. I found myself."

AHHHHHHHH!  :hot:

Oasis of the Zombies (1982) and Zombie Lake (1981) are two classic must-owns for bad movie lovers  :teddyr:
I do enjoy Zombie Lake a bit more, as the cheese to me is more fun, but Oasis has its hilariously awful moments as well.

Oh god what an incredible piece of s**t this is  :thumbdown:

Perhaps my favorite genre of film is 1980's zombie movies. But this is just atrocious. The zombies look pretty bad and are barely featured. If you're going to have s**tty zombies at least give me a lot of them.

I read Andrews reviews back when I first joined- which is why I joined in the first place. His movie sensibilities ran alongside naked in the surf with my own. Which led me to join the forum.
I miss Andrew.  :bluesad:

Zombie lake is much better. 

There's actually something that resembles a plot.  ... not much of one, but something. There's also a lot more zombies.  UNDER WATER NAZI ZOMBI9ES. 

and skinny dippers. 

Oasis just feels too dry to me.  Too dull.

I actually used one of the clips from this site as part of my Zombie Survival Powerpoint presentation I gave in a Speech class.  You learn a valuable lesson about zombies: always check the back seat!  Also, when you try to run away from zombies, run AWAY from them (not towards). 

There was one thing that went right in this clip though... when the girl gets dragged down by the zombies, the guy doesn't try to be a hero and jump in to rescue.  Instead, he promptly takes off!

I have this in a 50-movie pack. Maybe I need to watch it again.

I watched this a while ago on YouTube.

The only difference was that it was called Bloodsucking Nazi Zombies.

I was so disappointed by this film. With an awesome title like that, then this cluster bomb of a film was the result.

It's pretty awful.  :bluesad: The zombies are slow. reaaaly slow. Yet their jeep was right f**king there. They ran around it a lot- but never jumped in it- it never even seem to occur to them.
