Zombie Lake
(aka:  Le Lac des morts vivants, Lake of the Living Dead, Zombie's Lake )
(1980)
review by Krug Stillo

Everyone has his/her least favourite cheesy zombie flick. Some might vote for Bianchi’s Nights of Terror (Burial Ground, Zombie Horror) to claim first prize for being the worst of such films, but for me I have to go for Zombie
Lake.

In pre-production the prolific Jesus Franco was scheduled to direct this boring affair concerning underwater-Nazi-zombies who terrorise the nearby village. During their escapades, one of the green faced creatures sees a
little girl who is the product of a one-night stand he shared with a nubile blonde before his death at the hands of angry villagers. His change of heart and for humans and his obvious affection for his daughter causes raucous
behaviour among his living dead buddies…bla bla bla.

I could go on forever and reveal all, deliberately spoiling the film so you won’t have to part with your money for this extremely bad film, but I understand that this has a following. People have found redeeming qualities
in the inane dialogue, ridiculous acting, abysmal makeup, pathetic direction and shaky cinematography. Unfortunately, this is one zombie film that failed to claim my appreciation and believe me, I’ve seen a few.
