"Shock Waves" is a zombie film from 1977 starring Peter Cushing in another one of his more bizarre roles about a group of boat tourists getting stranded on a mysterious island after their boat crashes and sinks. This "ghost ship" that crashed into their boat turns out to be an old Nazi ship that originally sunk but somehow rose back up with fallen Nazi soldiers who were taken to Nazi labs for shock wave experiments reanimating their corpses and programming them to go out to way and kill the other soldiers. Peter Cushing, who plays the sole resident on that island, turns out to be their old dictator, and that island turns out to be where they hid during the fall of the Nazi military and where they stayed after they lost the war. This movie has an interesting idea for a zombie film and Peter Cushing really delivers with his performance. The zombies are also cool looking. It does get long and repetitive a lot to where this film could have been a lot better, but it is still worth a look for those into the old school zombie era.
