This is one of those stupid "we just happen to have the same name" kinda things, like FRIGHTMARE. In case you needed a lesson, I am referring to the equally titled NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIES flick from 1983, which was pretty much a botched clone of DAWN OF THE DEAD. Anyway, the video store I rented this from wrote in "II" on the cover, apparently to accompany their copy of the other flick... even though this one came out 2 years prior! Anyway, enough with the confusion and let's start this review. First of all, this has nothing to do with the other NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIES. Even though this flick does give us an unusual and original story, it is a STUPID story, so they fail anyway! Fools! It opens with 2 guys in Germany as they search out for remains of American troops that were reported M.I.A. during World War 2. What they find is a group of gun-wielding Nazi zombies! When the guys' bodies are later found, the naive (or secretive?) locals chalk their deaths up to bandits who are said to stalk the mountains. Now, some U.S. agent named Nick (played by an ex-porn "actor") is sent to Germany to find a stock of chemicals, apparently lost in WW2, that contain an experimental death gas we were going to use on the Krauts before we "misplaced" it. Along for the little mission impossible is some fat slob of a dork scientist and his very attractive niece. Then, a bunch of bullshit happens, some people die, we learn the fat dork (though oddly young looking) was in WW2, then Nick dresses up like a zombie or something. You know what they say, "if you can't kill 'em, join 'em"! Well, Nick's little disguise works, and we find out that their are two groups of zombies: Nazi zombies and Allie zombies. Looks like these boys were actually soldiers in the second "War to End All Wars", and were subjected to that Gamma 693 chemical our country lost. The non-FDA approved Kraut Killer turned them into the undead, forcing them to eat human flesh to prevent decomposing, and now they basically relive the war each night, fighting each other (like an undead Civil War reenactment group) until they can "rule the universe"... ha, not too fucking likely after this movie! And I though BURIAL GROUND was the product of a constipated colon stuffed with pasta! So, anyway, since Nick and friends (by the way, the fat dork was also exposed to the gas) can't stop them, we're all doomed. Way to go Nick, you greasy butt pirate! This movie was horrendous to put it generously. It was so terrible, that here weren't even any end credits! Hell, I bet they regret not cutting out the opening credits too! Aside from deplorable acting (stick to porn Nick) and sound quality equal to an AM/FM radio at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, the special FX were nowhere near special. They were actually very sad really. I would like to just laugh my ass off at the fact that ALL the skulls in the movie had screw on lids, like on a high school Biology skeleton, but I just can't laugh. I've seen terrible movies, but this is definitely a contender for the worst! Hell, I pondered whether I should've even included in here, since it seemed like a really bad spy movie 90% of the time, instead of the really bad horror movie it was supposed to be! There's no hope for Europe my friends... they might as well just give us control now and save themselves a lot of trouble.
