Shock Waves
Scary Movies XI
August 17 - 23, 2018
The same year he appeared as Grand Moff Tarkin in Star Wars, Peter Cushing also played another grand villain in Shock Waves: a former SS commander involved in the creation of aquatic Nazi zombies as secret weapons.
Introduction by director Ken Wiederhorn!
The same year he appeared as Grand Moff Tarkin in Star Wars, Peter Cushing also played another grand villain in Shock Waves: a former SS commander involved in the creation of aquatic Nazi zombies as secret weapons. The “Death Corps” project was a failed endeavor to say the least, and now, after their boat begins to sink, a group of tourists find themselves stuck on the island where the reclusive, aging commander and the water-based menaces still reside. With a cast that also includes Brooke Adams and Jack Halpin as two of the shipwrecked vacationers and John Carradine as the acerbic captain, this odd, atmospheric little shocker by writer-director Ken Wiederhorn (who dabbled again with the walking dead for 1988’s Return of the Living Dead Part II), started a long tradition of Nazi zombie flicks, and it still remains the finest.
