Jesús Franco made a lot of horror films and didn't put his real name on this one originally...I think perhaps even he was embarrassed to do so! It's certainly not among his better films and has some surprisingly poor production values. And, like almost all his films, it's originally in Spanish but was dubbed into English (the DVD wouldn't allow for other options).This film is set in North Africa and folks go vacationing and treasure hunting near an old German battle site. However, they don't realize that a bunch of zombie Germans (you can tell they are zombies because they apparently have corn flakes glued on their faces) are mucking about...looking to do bad things. In the midst of this, however, the women take the time to expose their boobies several times...perhaps in an effort to SOMEHOW make the film interesting. In fact, that's the big problem...you'd THINK zombie Nazis would be exciting but it rarely is. The music in unbelievably crappy with cheap organ music throughout. And, when it's not playing there's some sort of loud and annoying heartbeat sort of sound effect.So, in summary, you have a surprisingly dull film with bad acting, terrible make-up, awful music...but some boobies which might make it worth seeing if you are 13 and haven't heard about internet porn. Eminently skippable though I have, sadly, seen worse...but not very often.

When someone says, "I like bad movies." you can see how sincere they are by subjecting them to anything Jesus Franco has ever made. Franco films are my meditation. They seem to numb my mind more than a crate of wine and a week of network television. This movie is classically Franco. It has a plodding pace, horrible voice overs, hot women, terrible lighting, deliriously bad camera work, a script written by a chimp, varying and disconnected ambient noise... Christ, Jess Franco is terrible and shamelessly I adore his films. They have the feel of a twelve year old with his first camera. His childishness is abound in this and really, all of his movies. He is a testament to tenacity (and hot women).

Oasis Of The Zombies is supposed to be a horror film about some undead Afrika Corps soldiers who are guarding a cache of gold even after they were all killed in a firefight at an oasis with Americans. In fact the two forces annihilate each other, but the Americans stay dead and the only survivor was one of the Americans. I guess when Hitler gives a mission you carry it out beyond life itself.Anyway the son of the last survivor is out completing a mission for his dad who was killed by treasure hunters. He and friends despite warnings from the local desert sheik go to the oasis which the Berbers forbid to their people with good reason. Hey when a desert Berber tells you don't go to an oasis in the desert because evil things are happening you best heed. These people are quarantining an oasis you know something's bad there.This is a French production with some really bad dubbing and looking in many instances like it was shot with a brownie camera. The scenes with the undead Nazi zombies are pretty laughable. Unless you're a fan of bad horror films, I'd skip Oasis Of The Zombies.

During World War II a platoon of German soldiers are transporting gold across the African desert. They're attacked by Allied troops and hide the gold in a remote desert oasis. Fifty years later the son of the only surviving Allied attacker goes to search for the gold with friends. What they don't know is that there are Nazi zombies protecting it.Just bad beyond belief. The dubbing is horrendous, there are endless scenes of people walking around and the pace is enough to put you to sleep. Everything moves so slowly it's just ridiculous. The zombies don't even show up until 36 minutes in the movie and, even then, there's only a little blood and no gore at all. This plays more like a boring drama with zombies just thrown in for the hell of it. At the end when one of the survivors admits that he discovered himself during the attack (seriously) I almost threw something at the TV. And if you're watching for nudity--forget it. It IS in there but it's brief and badly handled. The only good things about this is that some of the zombie makeup is good and the funeral like music is really creepy--but the movie is so abysmal and boring that nothing can save it. Even writer/director Jesus Franco fans hate this! A 1 all the way.
