Member Rating:  
This horror film concerns a shipwrecked yachting party. Rose (Brooke Adams) and her fellow yacht-mates, including the captain (John Carradine) run aground on an island when they hit an odd-looking freighter. Once beached, they meet up with an aging SS Commander (Peter Cushing) who had been in charge of a crew of zombies. This is not meant as a comment on the quality of the men under him, they were "real" zombies. Since the zombies were taken from the ranks of murderers and other miscreants, they were not activated and the SS Commander sunk them with his submarine. Now they are rising up from the depths to create mayhem among the stranded members of the yachting party. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

    Although there is very little gore in this film, the idea of Nazi Zombies is quite intriguing and the film kept my interest throughout. I really enjoyed how terrifying this movie actually was.

    Pretty creepy movie... Really cool because I scuba dived around the "ship" in the Bahamas! It's still there, and unfortunately I saw this movie AFTER I had been to the ship. A cult classic, surely! I just don't understand why they don't just go around tearing all the goggles off the Nazis... that kills them!

    This movie is gr8 and I am glad it got re-released. It disgusts the amount of young horror fans out there who lack the culture to appreciate horror of days past. I too relish gore, the more the better, but you have got to appreciate the genre's history if you are to be a faithful fan of today. Go back to Horror 101 ppl and grab a brain while you are at it, this movie is gr8!
