Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

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

Rainey Dawn Funded by a very wealthy man, a group of people head to the coast of Africa in search of treasure - diamonds. They find more than they bargain for because the treasure is haunted/surrounded with zombies on a sunken ship. These zombies can inhabit the land as well as the sea. Will the group succeed in getting the treasure? This film is not all that bad - it's a fun to watch type of horror with a little bit different twist to zombie films since a deep sea treasure hunt adventure is involved. A refreshing change in zombie films.This is not everyone's style of zombie film since there is no gore or fast running zombies - but I found it is my style and I enjoyed watching.6/10

GL84 Arriving at a small African community, a group of diamond searchers find the area guarded by reanimated zombies raised by voodoo and try to enlist a local couple to combat the creatures and get away alive.This is a decidedly decent early effort in the zombie genre. One of the biggest issues here is the fact that this one is clearly still unsure of the traditional zombie format yet so this one is completely off-the-mark in terms of how they're portrayed. Still in league with the slave-like behavior back then, they're unblinking nature and invulnerability in fights or weaponry tactics to guns or weapons might be too much for those looking for more familiar surroundings in a zombie movie. As well, there's the low-budget nature of the film does have some getting over as the make-up work in non-existent on the zombies beyond contact lenses, the sets are minimal and repeatedly utilized while keeping the action relegated to a few small, short set-pieces that are found throughout here. These here hold this one down a little, but not completely to off- set the few good parts to this, mostly all of which is based on the attacks and interactions with the zombies. There's some pretty fun scenes here with this one dealing with the beings in their mausoleum hideout where the scenes of them emerging from their coffins en-mass while going for their victim in the room and a second scene to retrieve a fallen comrade, while there's other fin scenes here with them attacking in the house and the attempts to repel them gives this one some rather intriguing action. The showcase here, though, is undoubtedly the underwater retrieval sequences which features not only the underwater battle with the creatures as well as the centerpiece attack on the ship itself where the creatures come on-board to force battles and barricading tactics that are far more traditionally-inspired which allows for a lot of great fun in the film. This here is enough to make this one overcome the few films into a decent-enough effort.Today's Rating-Unrated/PG: Mild Violence.

AaronCapenBanner Edward L. Cahn directed this horror thriller that stars Gregg Palmer and Allison Hayes, who lead a group of treasure-hunters to an isolated African coast where there lies a sunken ship which is reputed to hold a huge cache of diamonds. Other expeditions have met with death, but that doesn't deter this current group, who learn that the sunken ship is guarded by its undead crew, zombies who will stop at nothing to preserve the diamonds. Can this voodoo curse be stopped? Fondly remembered schlock is quite silly, if not downright absurd, with an illogical and shallow plot, yet it is so bad that it's still strangely watchable, and certainly an example of old-fashioned filmmaking.

JoeB131 This was a gem from 1957, before Romero ripped off Richard Matheson and ruined the Zombie forever.The crew of a ship has been cursed to guard treasure, bringing death to any who try to salvage the diamonds. Amazingly, in 60 years, only six teams have even tried, and the first five have been buried in the backyard of the creepy old house where the widow of the Zombie Captain lives.These Zombies are essentially indestructible and lame.They all sleep in a nice crypt when not needed for plot purposes. They kidnap a female character after she flees from spousal abuse which was perfectly acceptable in 1957, and turn her into a Zombie. But she's still a hot zombie! So they throw the diamonds into the water, and that solves the Zombie problem.People were just easier to scare in 1957.
