Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Scott LeBrun Considered by genre fans to be the best of the "Nazi zombie" sub genre, "Shock Waves" is a thickly and palpably atmospheric horror film with enough spooky and creepy moments and images to make it very satisfying viewing. Co-written & directed by Ken Wiederhorn ("Return of the Living Dead Part II"), it's got a mostly unfamiliar cast, eerie music by Richard Einhorn, impressive makeup by Alan Ormsby, and some striking Florida location work.The idea is that the SS attempted to create the ultimate warrior during WWII. So they came up with the Death Corps, which have quietly been hidden away on an island for many years, accompanied by their protector of sorts, an unnamed commander (the great Peter Cushing). Into their realm stumble some people who were on a pleasure cruise, and wrecked their boat after colliding into a phantom freighter."Shock Waves" has a lot going for it. It's got a perfect "late show" feel, always an asset in this viewers' humble opinion. It would play very well on a TV set in the wee hours of the morning. It has the kind of weird but compelling lack of logic to be found in any nightmare. The bit players in the roles of The Death Corps are very chilling in their unspeaking menace, and the scenes where they rise from their watery rest are always extremely effective. The cast is very good, although one of the intended victims is a complainer named Norman (Jack Davidson). You watch this just hoping that he will get his. The lovely and appealing Brooke Adams has her first major feature film role, and she rocks a yellow bikini in a few scenes. Luke Halpin of 'Flipper' fame is engaging as the studly hero. And John Carradine adds his expertise as the crusty skipper; his reading of one line is pretty damn funny.This is a little gem of an independent horror film that I would recommend to any newcomer to the genre.Eight out of 10.

Uriah43 A small boat carrying 4 passengers encounters a strange phenomenon while at sea which causes consternation among them. But rather than turn back to appease his passengers—and have to give them a refund—the captain (John Carradine) continues on. That night the small boat is struck by a mysterious "ghost ship" which causes damage to the boat's hull. Although they manage to row a lifeboat to a nearby island, they soon discover that they are not alone on the island. Not only does it harbor a Nazi SS Commander (Peter Cushing) but there are other Nazis on the island as well. Nazi zombies. Anyway, while this movie certainly had potential, it suffered from the fact that the very beginning of the movie featured only one survivor, "Rose" (Brooke Adams) which essentially ruined any surprise value that might have been had. As a result, it was pretty much a paint-by-numbers production from there on out. Hence my rating of average.

eunichman ... when on a remote island surrounded by an unknown number of enemies.The acting was below low budget, the script may have been a good idea but was poorly implemented... I have seen worse movies but not many... there is just so much WRONG with this film the viewer finds them self scratching their head wondering what in the world the director was thinking...Lessons we learned: When you have an enemy known to be water based, stay away from water When you are only but a few, and get separated, do NOT scream out for each other lest you attract said enemy If you DO find yourself in a body of water and you cant see your feet, don't take off your shoes.... (this is common sense anyhow) The way to kill a supposedly invincible water bound zombie is take off their "sunglasses" Don't stand up in a boat that's in water (duh) I can go on and on of things that were stupid about this movie, which was not frightening in the least and very predictable, but I don't have time to write a novel :). The ONLY redeeming quality about this movie was the "The End" at the end.

gavin6942 Visitors to a remote island discover that a reclusive Nazi commandant (Peter Cushing) has been breeding a group of Zombie soldiers.This film features underwater Nazi Zombies, in a sense anticipating Lucio Fulci's "Zombie". In fact, Mike Mayo jokes (I assume he's joking) that it's the best in the "underwater Nazi zombie" genre.The Netflix copy is kind of grainy, and allegedly the original negative has been destroyed. I do not know how clear the Blue Underground print is, but I have to assume that it is the best available because BU doesn't mess around.As far as zombie Nazis go, I think "Dead Snow" is the better film... but it took over thirty years to try and match this one.
