Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

jadavix "Zombie Lake" is a tedious film with nothing much going for it aside from the ridiculousness of its central premise. It's about a lake... with zombies. Zombies come from the lake. They come out of the lake at night time and kill people. And what's more... they're Nazis. Nazi zombies that live in a lake. Got it? Good.The silliness doesn't stop there, as the movie is filled with revealing mistakes such as crew members wandering around, visible equipment, reflections of cameras in windows. And remember the lake? The "zombie" lake? Well, the movie features many underwater shots that are obviously actually filmed in a swimming pool. You can see the concrete wall of the pool in some shots, and even the reflection of an "exit" sign.The actors playing zombies seem to spend quite a bit of time underwater, and perhaps disliked being wet all the time, which may explain why they are completely dry in shots when we have just seen them come out of the water. Did Nazi uniforms contain self-drying mechanisms like the futuristic jacket Marty McFly wears in "Back to the Future 2"?

metalrage666 There are so many things wrong with this trash that throwing an entire thesaurus of negativity at it still wouldn't come close to describing how painfully slow and terrible this is. Basically, (by way of a flashback story), a bunch of Nazis are killed by the French resistance in world war 2 and their bodies are disposed of in a nearby lake. Roll credits please. Anyway for no other reason apart from a pathetic script, these deceased soldiers are now zombies because of, oh who knows why, let's just say why the hell not and save on logic. These zombies decide to come to life several years or maybe decades later with green face paint, still brand new looking uniforms, ridiculous expressions and they start to take their revenge on some travelling female sports team who decide to get naked and go frolicking in the titular lake. So queue the back up team left over from Shock Waves to suddenly surface at this point and pull the naked screaming girls to a watery grave. Somehow and seemingly much, much later, all these dead dudes are corralled in a warehouse or mill of some kind, it's burnt to the ground by local townspeople, take bath with toaster, kill self, the end!I could make random guesses on why this got made, voodoo, gypsy curse maybe, director caught sleeping with boss' wife, who knows; maybe when this crap was being made they were attempting some kind of weird zombie/porn crossover cult film and failed dismally. Even with all the naked underwater shots and inappropriate zombie gropings going on, nothing except fire, lots and lots of heaven sent holy fire can save us from this.....whatever this is. If you really want to punish yourself then watch this. If you really hate somebody at work, it becomes the perfect secret Santa gift.

LawnBoy-4 Truly, laughably, staggeringly awful. This is not only the worst zombie film ever made, it may very well be the worst film ever made, period. Robot Holocaust, R.O.T.O.R. and even Troll 2 have nothing on this travesty.Fortunately, it is so bad that it is hilarious. Trust me, it is hilarious.Horrific editing, lighting, acting, direction, cinematography, screen writing, makeup, casting, and everything else aside, the fact that it features a zombie who not only shows emotion for his kid, but actually gives her a necklace, walks hand-in-hand with her and (seriously) fights off other zombies in order to protect her(!) is, well......stupefying. A sentimental zombie, folks, and one who bestows gifts and heaps love upon his long lost daughter. I'm not kidding, it's in there.Yes, there are boatloads of silly and gratuitous nudity, all of which is poorly lighted and has no business in this movie other than to lure the desperate into the theater (assuming this ever graced the reels of a theater in France). Its inclusion and execution is so misplaced and laughably exploitative that it is completely devoid of the erotic effect that was no doubt originally intended.And then there are the bird noises. Scene after scene is dominated by loud, screeching bird noises. I do not know why. Perhaps the French countryside was simply overrun by bird noises the day this film was shot or perhaps the director felt the need to mask the sound of rusted, whirring cameras with a sound which would remind the confused viewers that the scene they were watching was, in fact, an exterior. The one good thing I'll say about the incessant bird noises is that they represent, at the very least, a reprieve from the God-awful soundtrack.There is so much else to say about this movie, but I will leave it to you to find the many "treasures" as the film painfully and slowly unfolds.Throw a "bad film" party and save this one for the finale when everyone is suitably tanked and ready for the worst of the worst. Your friends will be talking about it - and you - for years.

Uriah43 Rather than beating around the bush I'm just going to be brutally frank and say that this is a very bad movie. As a matter of fact, I only know of a couple of zombie films which are worse. At least as of this writing. It has bad acting, a bad plot, bad action sequences, bad character development, a bad musical score, bad special effects and bad dialogue. Basically, if you can name it--it was bad. And that's the brutal truth of the matter. That said, there are also some things that might need to be taken under consideration. The dialogue for example. While it was definitely bad, it was also originally in another language so it is quite possible that some things were understated or missed in translation. Another factor to consider is that this movie was filmed in 1981 on what was probably a very small budget. As a result the cost for the special effects was probably minimal and the results reflected this. Likewise, there didn't seem to be any award-winning actors in this movie which leads me to believe that the makers of this film had to settle for whoever they could afford. And quite often you get what you pay for. Be that as it may, there were two noticeable features in this film that I thought were worth mentioning. First, there were a lot of scenes with nude females. Unfortunately, none of the scenes were really that interesting. At least I didn't think so. But one thing I did like were the scenes where the Nazi soldiers came from out of the lake. But that was about it. In summation, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and rate it slightly higher than it probably deserves but unless you're a die-hard zombie enthusiast I wouldn't waste my time on this one.
