Zombie Lake | Year: 1980 Directed: - Jean Rollin Exquisitely bad cinema. Ed Wood's films (particularly Plan 9 From Outer Space) are widely considered to be the worst ever made. That is absolutely untrue. Zombie Lake makes Plan 9 look like Seven Samurai or Lawrence of Arabia. It is without doubt the worst film ever made. It has to be. It must.<BR>I will not give a synopsis; other reviewers have done that. I will instead share some of the treasures contained in Zombie Lake:<BR>1) A beautiful, nubile young woman is completely nude during the opening credits. Yes, this must be a record; full frontal nudity during the opening titles!<BR>2) The zombies' makeup is of the 99 cent, K Mart variety. The makeup rubs off on the victims' bodies, and as the film progresses, washes off of the zombies. By their final emergence from the lake, one zombie's face is completely devoid of makeup.<BR>3) During one shining, glorious moment, the camera operator can clearly be seen in a mirror.<BR>4) The female "basketball" team, emerges from their VW bus and begins to play with a volleyball.<BR>5) Said female team begin disrobing, and reveal that none of them are wearing underclothes (and they just came back from practice). In fact, none of the women in the film wear underclothes, except for one young woman who is taking a bath (the tub conveniently located on her lawn).<BR>6) One member of the team gleefully strips off all of her clothes, and enters the lake still wearing her shoes. She must be a modest young lady. In the very next scene (an underwater shot),her shoes have miraculously disappeared.<BR>7) The underwater shots are obviously shot in a pool. Canvas has been draped over the walls of the pool, and the ripples and folds of the canvas are completely visible. A light and drain are also on full display.<BR>8) The dubbing was done by the worst actors who have ever lived. They speak their lines with all the enthusiasm of a ninety year old lung cancer patient. The "rallying the town" scene perfectly illustrates this and stands as one of the high points (?) in the history of bad cinema.<BR>9) The daughter of one of the zombies is eight years old. She was born thirty years previous.<BR>All right, that's enough. Trust me, there is much more to be seen in this film. Any aficionado of bad film must not only see this film, but buy it as well. I have watched my favorite scenes over and over again, and they just improve with each viewing.<BR>It is the worst film ever made. Nothing comes close. Grade Z Eurotrash galore This Eurotrash grade Z zombie film is hillarious. Chock full of nudity (lots of nudity)a very long sex scene in which the nazi keeps his pants on the whole time(?) oh and the zombies makeup is nothing but green paint poorly slapped on and whenever they attack their victims it rubs off on the victims as well...not to mention the watercolor red blood that leaves no puncture marks on the flesh...great stuff. But the real kicker of this film...this movie was obviously taking place in the late 70's so doesnt it seem odd the nazi's daughter is still a little kid????...hahahaha classic bad cinema..I love it i can't believe i paid good money for this trash if there was a way to rate this "no stars" or "negative stars" i would. however, one is the lowest i can use. i suppose READING the reviews here rather than looking at only the stars would have given me a clue that, while in the mood for a good zombie movie and getting the living tar scared out of me, i purchased a comedy. <BR>if you want to be scared....RUN...AWAY from this movie. find something else like "the sound of music" or "europa, europa"...the nazis in these films are more scary than the ones in "zombie lake".
