Summary: Scared the Living Hebby Jeebys Outta Me!
Review: This movie has honestly got to be one of the most horrifying, gruesome movies of all time. Despite what other reviewers may say about this movie, it is very graphic and very scary. The so-called fake make-up that the zombie's wear looked like real skin coming off and that gave me the jitters all over! What I think had me staying up all night with my teddy bear and night light on was seeing the zombies come out and take the girls in the lake and then even showing underwater shots of their lake that was obviously filmed in a spooky dooky 4 ft. deep pool!! I truly don't see how anyone couldn't have enjoyed this film because it really makes your heart skip a few beats and then some. If you want a terrifying zombie film with the most realistic-looking zombies and an amazingly intricate and well-developed plot, look no further. This movie will leave you scarred with a phobia for lakes and swamps for as long as you live as it has done to me!

Summary: zombie lake = zombie poop
Review: This movie was horrendous. Words do not even exist to describe how awful this movie is. Nazi zombies from WWII who inhabit a lake and attack swimmers? You would think that with a plot SO ridiculous that this movie would have to be good. Not so. There is no gore and the special effects are nothing more than green face paint for the zombies. And who cares if it is a Jean Rollin movie? I should kick him in the neck for making this pile of garbage.
And to all the reviewers who said this movie was great because of all the nudity, why don't you wipe the spittle off of your chin, stop watching this crappy movie in your parent's basement and find a girlfriend.

Summary: Hitler needs to tell these guys that the war is over
Review: Ugghh. I was pretty sure Werewolf was the worst horror movie ever, until I saw this one. It's about a lake filled with Nazi zombies. They're supposed to be green, but their hands are flesh tone, and the green latex junk is peeling off of their faces. So, it starts off with a scene involving a nubile, bikini-waxed girl who shows up at the lake to---c'mon, you know this one---go skinny dipping. This scene is complete with porno style music and camera-freindly shots of every inch of her naked body. Then, the zombies swim up from their green slop to kill her. This, by the way, is the high point of the movie---after this it REALLY gets bad.The dubbing is the worst I've ever seen, complete with as much superfluous profanity as possible. The special effects---oh dear God. At one point, when the zombies are in their supposed "lake" you can see the walls of the swimming pool in which their actually floating. You see them maul naked or half-naked girls over and over, with fake, thinned blood spurting from wounds with no actual puncture-points. If you are in the mood for the worst horror movie ever, this is the one to go for. This movie makes the Seven Doors of Death look like the Sixth Sense.

Summary: Not as Good as "WADD" but better than "Titanic"
Review: Very similar to "Gone With The Wind" except this film contains Zombie Nazis and has a soft porn quality. I laughed, I cried, I vomitted twice, drank more, laughed again, nearly choked then vomitted again, cried, laughed, pulled my pants up and finally turned off the TV. Definitely buy this movie.

Summary: OH MY GOD! this film is worse than Túmulo Vivo!
Review: What can I say...? I never saw such a bad movie. I've seen a considerable number of european super-low-budget horror films from the 70's but this goes beyond all limits! This film has all: the most stupid zombies i've seen ( they have feelings!), incredible make-up errors, people running from zombies laughing (take a careful look at the restaurant scene..) and even the camera man can be seen in a mirror for about half a minute (for those of had, unfortunatly, seen the film, review carefully the scene where Howard Vernon talks with the reporter in a living room full of mirrors)! And the voice doubling??? Magnificient! And Daniel White,the music man, didn't care: he picked his soundtrack for Jesus Franco's Female Vampire and used it... Unbelievable...! Oh dear... those who had made this masterpiece must had gone crazy.. Well, after this film I believe that my home-made films like Theatre of Pain and Antro da Necrofilia can became Gore classics.. Warning: This is one of the worst films i've seen! It's hilariant..! that i can guarentee... Oh well.. I prefer Neurosis...

Summary: Nazi Zombies, Nude Women...can't go wrong....right?
Review: Wrong. Let me make something clear before I begin my review: I am basing my rating along the same lines as other Zombie b-movies as it would be impossible not to. With a title like 'Zombie Lake' most would assume that it is a must for Zombie/Eurotrash dvd collectors. Personally, I found it to be a rather forgettable flick.
Here's why: Even for a Zombie b-movie, the film offers little in the way of entertainment. Allow me to make my tastes clearer - if you watch these films for over-the-top gore/death scenes, funny dialogue (by this I mean that it was actually meant to be taken seriously), and threatening music (the kind that lets you know someone is about to get their head ripped apart) then chances are, you may not enjoy this one. "Zombie Lake" has the bad dubbing (can it possibly be good if done in another language?), bad acting, and inconsistencies present in other Zombie flicks, but without the other qualities that usually make these movies fun to watch. The synopsis and poor makeup that has repeatedly been mentioned in other reviews, I will skip only to write about how much I tend to like these 'bad' movies and yet found this one to be too dry.
I understand that none of us really watch any of these flicks for the plot but it seemed like there was an attempt to cross Zombie flick, love story, and long-lost family reunion in this one movie. Horrible combination. If you like your fair share of T&A in your films, then this one doesn't disappoint. The film at times feels more like a soft-core porn movie than a Zombie one. Sure, this is yet another quality most of us need in our Zombie flicks, but coupled with the ice-skating music, one must wonder where all of this is going. Don't get me wrong, everything has it's place and the nudity in this movie is all it has going for it. Despite all this, Zombie aficionados may be sorry they picked this one up. If there is another Zombie film you've been wanting to check out, do that before seeing this one. The film didn't really start getting interesting (aside from the opening credits ;)) Until about 35 minutes into the movie and dragged at other times after. I'm not saying this movie doesn't have it's value; the underwater shots of the girls are great! All i'm saying is, don't expect a fun movie for the sake of Zombies! I bought this movie with the hopes of celebrating bad film qualities, being entertained, and witnessing cheesy death and carnage. I found none of this in the movie. Then again, if you don't expect too much based on some of the other reviews and go into it expecting a long-lost love story with several guys with green faces biting people in the neck with no apparent bite wounds, you may like it. All I can say is that you really can't expect anything you've seen in the Italian flicks, and if you think this movie is worth checking out because of most of the other reviews on the nudity and overall 'bad'ness of it, then by all means buy it. Only then will you get a better idea of how bad this movie is, even by 'bad' standards.

Summary: one of the worst zombie movies ever
Review: Yes, this gets the golden turd award formerly held by Bruno Mattei's stupid-beyond-a-reasonable-doubt "Night of the Zombies." "Zombie Lake" commits the cardinal sin of being an underwater Nazi zombie movie that's not only ineptly made, but incredibly boring and unconvincing, as well. Okay, the movie starts with a prolonged scene of a nude girl who gets attacked by a zombie in a lake (uh-huh). Then, so help me, the 'plot' starts to unfold (*yawn*). A dim-bulb reporter wants to do a story on this small town's 'haunted' lake (slow news week, I'd say), and the Mayor (goggle-eyed Howard Vernon) reveals, in a long, ponderous flashback sequence almost completely devoid of dialogue, that he and his buddies (who, surprisingly, haven't aged at all) killed a bunch of Nazis during World War II and dumped them in the lake. So now, these Nazi zombies live in the lake, periodically coming out to chow down on the town's slow-witted residents. Visually, the film resembles Lucio Fulci's "Demonia," but director Jean Rollin (who appears in a brief and pointless role as a police inspector) manages to screw things up royally. Umberto Lenzi made his zombies run around and brandish weapons in "City of the Walking Dead," which is laughable, yes, but Rollin commits another cardinal sin in giving his undead Nazis the power to reason (evidenced in the one-on-one 'zombie fight', plus the lead zombie's devotion to his 8-year old 30-year old daughter). Also, the green pancake makeup is really pathetic-looking; it's overstated in some scenes, and lacking in others. And perhaps the final straw is the lack of convincing gore; Euro-zombie movies are notorious for a generous helping of blood and guts, but here it's all hampered by a budget that probably ran in the tens of dollars. From one zombie fan to the next, and all parties in between, save your money for a competent film from the Fulci or Romero camp. "Zombie Lake" doesn't even work in a so-bad-it's-good way.

Summary: More Than Just Your Average Swimming Hole!
Review: Zombie Lake, touted as a piece from the Euroshock collection, was something of a shock to me for a few reasons. First, while I had expected Zombies (of which there were a few here and there) and I did expect a lake, I didn't expect there to be so many people wanting to swim their naked before the camera, through the art of revealing angles that tried to hide the movie's utter lack of a budget/plot, closed in on their final moments. Personally, swimming in something that's full of pond life, not to mention a bit of greenery and quite a few vision-obscuring plants, doesn't sound like a fanciful rendition of naked swimming to me, but I guess Zombies know better. From the very beginning we find ourselves thrust into a low budget spectacle, with a setting in the French countryside that seems to be overrun with skinny-dippers and where young women seem to be disappear without so much as a trace. In fact, our initial scenes deal with a young woman that went swimming by herself, not to mention a whole basketball team (yes, I think this gives away a little of the mindset that the movie's clever packaging tries to hide) that seems to find themselves int he eager maws drifting beneath the "Lake of Ghosts." Enter some more bumbling deaths and a Paris new reporter that finds at, amongst other things, that a loosely hinged plot featuring Nazis from WW2 can turn anything, even a DVD that touts clothing optional scenes as its special feature, into something you can advertise as a horror movie, and you have yourself the wonders of Zombie Lake!
