Summary: most erotic zombie film
Review: Leave it to Jean Rollin to make quality erotic/horror pictures. He's previously graced us with such films as "Lips of Blood" and "Grapes of death", but "Zombie Lake" even surpasses those monumental achievements. The film commences with a sexy lady removing her clothing, then he give a close-up view of her privat parts(score!). There is a story, but who cares because in no-time a bus load of girls, take of their cloths off and hit the lake. This is where Rollins' genius comes into play, when He brings us underwater to see between the chicks legs! All in All great film, but be sure to bring some tissues to clean up after!

Summary: People actually liked this movie?
Review: Let's go back to 1986, when i was like 10 years old and me and my friends used to have a ritual that every saturday morning, instead of watching stupid cartoons, we would get on our BMX's and go to the local video store and rent like 4 to 5 videos(mostly R rated horror films..hey what can i say?, We were cool with the girl employee!) and watch them all day until we all had to go back home for dinner.

On this particular saturday afternoon, we rented some movies including this one "Zombie Lake" and man, did it scare me! I truly had nightmares for the longest time about this film, maybe it was the way they walked (the zombies of course!), their expressions on their faces, their strength, and them coming out of a lake..Oh my god, We had a lake close to wear i used to live!

Now fast forward to 2004..i'm 28 years old now and don't really get scared watching horror movies anymore but still love them and watch as many as i can, the good and the bad.

Well this is REALLY BAD!

The story is poorly written and full of mistakes , the make up on the zombies are laughable (halloween make-up at Wal-mart is state of the art compared to this), the dubbing is horrible and i just love when the actor is finished talking but the voice is still going on (funny!), the editing was horrible, and just when you thought zombies didn't have feelings..well watch the film, they do and they even cry!

I guess it's funny that what scares us as kids makes us laugh when we're adults...that's life i guess!

In conclusion, Please AVOID this film, i watched it really for memories of when i was a kid, but now i'm having nightmares that i actually spent $20 on this waste of time.

TRUST ME ALL THE TRUE ZOMBIE FANS OUT THERE..THIS MOVIE REALLY BLOWS!!

Summary: MMMmmmm
Review: Mr Keetch should check his facts. Directed by Jean Rollin, an interesting footnote director....mmmmm

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: THEY SHOULD HAVE STAYED BELOW THE WATERLINE
Review: Take it from a Zombie-movie-freak, this one bites. No chills, atrocious acting, sloppy (and readily removable) zombie make-up,etc. etc., etc. Seek out 'Let Sleeping Corpses Lie', or 'Zombie Holocaust'.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Most terrifying zombie massacre to come to the big screen...
Review: Thats exactly wat it isnt. IT isnt scary at all man what a bad movie. The reason i gave it 2 stars because of the idea, nazi zombies. The makeup is horrible. The worst part is the dubbing on this movie. WOW one of the worst dubbing ever. .... FYI: DONT BUY THIS MOVIE.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Eurotrash of the lowest quality!
Review: The film that almost destroyed Jean Rollin! A town is beseiged by green eyed zombies and continuity errors! See actors working in slow motion due to a speeded up camera!

I saw this film on video years ago and despite it being terrible, I'll be first to order it on DVD. Jean Rollin came in to finish it off for Eurocine (According to IMMORAL TALES, the book.) and his career suffered as a result.

The story involves a bunch of German soldiers who were murdered and chucked in a lake. Now they rise to take revenge on the townspeople... strangely, they still have their boots on (Despite earlier scenes showing them taken off when they were killed!)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This movie is bad in every way.
Review: The movie starts with a young woman being pulled down into the lake by a zombie (after having the camera zooming in on about every inch of her naked body, that is). After that, the villagers and the mayor get worried, and another woman is killed in the village. Soon, a female reporter arrives, and convinces the mayor to tell the lake's history. So far, the movie has been about as bad as the average bad movie, and at least you could laugh at the bad dubbing.

The story of the lake is told in flashbacks. Or, at least, the mayor was supposed to tell the story of the lake, but the flashback starts out telling the story of a German soldier and a female villager who falls in love and produces a baby, Helena. After the love story, the German soldiers are killed by some of the villagers and dumped in the lake.

Those flashbacks felt like they were about five hours long. I guess it was more like fifteen or twenty minutes, but it was way too long and dull anyway. This is where you first start to lose interest in the movie. If you're still watching the movie after this, you will witness what is probably the stupidest attempt ever at combining horror and melodrama. Here, the soldier I mentioned before, who is now a zombie, gets out of the lake to visit his daughter, Helena. She doesn't seem to notice that her father is wearing German uniform and is all green in his face. She's happy to see him, and he gives her a necklace of some sort that he got from her mother in the way-too-long flashback sequence. Also these scenes are way too long and, totally stupid and not even funny. The young actress playing Helena makes (with help from the girl who dubbed her voice) what is probably the worst acting performance I have ever seen in a movie.

After that, the villagers are trying to kill the zombies with napalm or something. At this point, it was impossible to pay much attention to the movie, because it was so boring and I couldn't wait for it to end. After about 87 minutes, it finally did...

I don't think I have ever seen so much incompetence gathered in one movie. The acting is awful, the screenplay and narration makes it extremely boring and the "special effects" could be made by any ten-year-old. The worst thing of all, however, is the zombie make-up. It has to be seen to be believed (but don't watch the movie just because of that).

To sum up, this is not one of those bad movies that are fun to laugh at. This is just boring and bad in every way and there's nothing good to say about it. Avoid this movie!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Zombie Lake is quite entertaining...
Review: The video box reads... "The Most Terrifying Zombie Massacre Ever To Come To The Screen". In truth, it is quite possibly "The Worse Zombie Massacre to Ever Come to Any Screen". I am a fan of laughably bad "B" Cinema, and enjoyed this very much. No one should take it seriously. Its no Dawn Of The Dead and will never be. Its a peice of eurotrash Cinema about Nazi Zombies who emerge from a lake wearing horribly done green makeup, and feed on bare breasted beauties who dare to swim in said lake. So, basically... the whole movie is an excuse for gratutious nudity and zombie carnage. I love it! If you want a new peice of cheese you can laugh at and add to your collection, pick this one up.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Grade Z Eurotrash galore
Review: This Eurotrash grade Z zombie film is hillarious. Chock full of nudity (lots of nudity)a very long sex scene in which the nazi keeps his pants on the whole time(?) oh and the zombies makeup is nothing but green paint poorly slapped on and whenever they attack their victims it rubs off on the victims as well...not to mention the watercolor red blood that leaves no puncture marks on the flesh...great stuff. But the real kicker of this film...this movie was obviously taking place in the late 70's so doesnt it seem odd the nazi's daughter is still a little kid????...hahahaha classic bad cinema..I love it
