Oasis of Zombies (1983)

[Scott]

OASIS OF ZOMBIES (1983) - (a.k.a the moment Menard is waiting for ! ) Euro-Zombie film directed by Jess Franco. I actually enjoyed this film except the zombie parts.  All those characters backgrounds leading to their little trip to the Nazi treasure in the oasis and the way the film was shot and dubbed was actually kinda cozy as you know I've always  appreciated those Euro-Horror films. Though not the best of the Euro-Horror by any means this film still fits nicely into the bunch.



Here's Andrews review of Oasis of Zombies

Why? Are they so bad?

[Scott]

The director did manage to keep that worm on a few zombies noses long enough to make the shot. They were just zombies in the desert. They didn't set up those scenes well. The cheap looking WWII action was more interesting. There was one scene where zombies are eating the intestines and organs from one of the females.

EWWWW! You must have had those eyelids taped open. Oh, that's right, you had them removed. (:

I guess for its really, really bad parts (a.k.a. 85 minutes of the movie) some parts can be enjoyed for how bad they are. The dubbing on this was probably the most enjoyable part as it rarely matched the emotion of the action (such as a running screaming character having a calm voice dubbed in).

I have to ask, as you did say that you enjoyed it (heh...heh); did you fast forward through any of it? (:

Oh, BTW, EWWWW!

yeah, i saw this on VHS as "bloodsucking nazi zombies", and i was bored to sleep.

"I actually enjoyed this film except the zombie parts."

You're a sick man Scott. 30 minutes into this movie I had to go to the hospital because I was trying to gnaw off my own tongue.

Hey, Scott puts himself through quite a bit of abuse to bring us his thoughts on these movies. He is a very strong man as far as I'm concerned...well, either that or he's completely insane.

Guess which option I pick. (:

Both ZOMBIE LAKE and OASIS OF ZOMBIES would make a wonderful little double feature.

In OASIS OF ZOMBIES,  I kinda liked the story of the survivor of the desert battle who fell in love with the Arab girl and she died giving birth to a son who later grew up in England while the father stayed in North Africa in the Shieks home for a long time after. The father gets killed by a treasure hunter over a map to the Nazi treasure and the son goes to Africa with his silly friends to local the treasure. Only to find it protected by Zombies.

Holy convoluted plot batman!

I didn't know my brain could bleed from reading a plotline.

Double EWWWWW! (:

[Menard]

I always wondered what the plot was that I slept through. (:

I havent yet had the courage for Zombie Lake, but one of these days I'll bite the bullet and rent it just to say I've seen all the aquatic nazi zombie flicks (At least all the ones I know about anyway). Throw in Shockwaves and Night of the Zombies II and you have yourself a nazi zombie marathon that would kill any mortal man. Well any mortal man besides Scott of course. : )

[lester1/2jr]

Ic an't believe you liked this.  It's one of the worst movies I'v ever seen and so dissapointing with the crazy title (s)

[Scott]

I just qued up SHOCKWAVES to the #1 spot from Netflix. More Zombie fun coming up.....................Sounds like a good one MasterBlaster.
