Luke Halpin������������������������������D�d Sn�, or Dead Snow�is a new film from Norway about Nazi zombies that will be in limited release on June 19.� When I heard about this intriguing new film, I was
instantly reminded of the cult classic 1977 film, Shock Waves.In Shock Waves, John Carradine, Flipper-star Luke Halpin, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers remake star Brooke Adams and a few assorted
other travelers are on a rickety boat in the Caribbean.� After colliding with a mysterious derelict freighter that appears out of nowhere, they find themselves on a broken down boat and stranded near
a mysterious island.Forced to explore the island, they find an abandoned hotel and an old man (Peter Cushing) as an old Nazi with a secret.� He was part of a group of scientists who created the
'perfect soldier.'� It turns out that these soldiers are a group of invincible Nazi soldier zombies�who can breathe underwater.The first time we see the zombies underwater just walking, it is
unsettling.� In the most chilling scene, a traveler is attacked by a zombie while running blindly with terror through the abandoned hotel.� This unfortunate soul also is knocked into the nearly empty
pool and fights with, and loses to a zombie.� Soon, there are only two travelers left to escape the island and the film will ultimately end with a truly disturbing scene in a hospital.Shock Waves may
seem hokey, but it is chock full of memorable scenes.� Luke Halpin and Brooke Adams are likable leads.� Peter Cushing and John Carradine are not in the movie that long, but they are always great.��
See Shock Waves for�a truly scary experience! |
