The Death Corps
Also called: Almost Human
Shock Waves is a Nazi zombie film: super-soldiers designed for underwater operations who proved impossible to control. They stalk and corner their victims with purpose and have a single odd weakness, their goggles. Peter Dendle singles the film out for its inventive approach to the screen zombie.1
