A small tourist boat with several passengers encounter a strange Bermuda Triangle type of weather phenomenon. Soon after this they ram into a beached ship in the middle of the night. Their boat is wrecked so they row a small lifeboat onto a supposedly deserted island. However, there is a Nazi officer on the island that has been hiding out in since World War Two.

During the war he commanded a group of, believe it or not, zombies! That's right, a group of maniacal killer zombies. And not just your ordinary zombies either. These guys are underwater zombies. And they're starting to wake up and come onshore. Soon our survivors are getting bumped off one at a time.

A rather strange little flick to say the least. But it moves along at a half-decent pace. It's really bizarre watching these zonbie guys walking along the sea bed and sleeping at the bottom of the river. Every now and then they pop up to claim a victim. We liked it.
