Streaming Kino: Shock Waves (1977)

Ken Wiederhorn's super chilling Nazi zombie classic, featuring Brooke Adams in a major, and the legendary Peter Cushing in a minor role.

Very creepy 1977 movie "Shock Waves" wasn't the biggest success on initial release, but has since become a cult classic, and quite rightfully so. It's grindhouse cinema at its best. Exploitative, speculative, low-budget, gritty, bleak. The focus is less on the big action, but more on the nightmarish, claustrophobic situation of being trapped on a island, desperately trying to escape inevitable doom. 

As you can see in the preview picture, the undead Nazi soldiers look amazingly ghoulish. "Shock Waves" has a unique atmosphere, and is probably best watched late at night. If possible, the night before you take a boat trip to an island.
