Session: A Brief History of the Nazi Zombie Films (Week 1)
Movie: Revenge of the Zombies (1943)
Directed by Steve Sekelyg
Max has urned his dead wife into a zombie. He's also trying to create a zombie army to fight for Germany. Horror ensues.
Reaction and Other Folderol:
Mantan Moreland, as Jeff, does his usual schtick and steals the show, though Madame Sul-Te-Wan, as Mammy Beulah, gives him a run for his money. Another plus is the ending, which was well-done in a horrific kind of way.
But those don't make up for a plot which was kind of meh. And if this movie is, as Keith tells us, where the zombie nazi genre begins, it was a pretty inauspicious start. The whole nazi aspect of the plot was very underplayed, and I probably wouldn't have even realized it was there if I hadn't known to look for it.
