“Les morts vivants” sound much nicer than “zombies”, unless you’re talking about the 1981 French classic, Le Lac des Morts Vivants, in which case you should run for your life. Le Lac des Morts Vivants, which translates to Zombie Lake, the may be the worst zombie movie ever made.
In a small French village during World War II, a gaggle of Nazi soldiers were slaughtered by the resistance and thrown into a nearby lake. Now, forty years later, they’re awakened by gratuitous footage of boobs bouncing in their lake to become Nazi zombies! Nazombies! Then they do what zombies do: wreak havoc on the pastoral village, chew on necks and limbs and are generally unpleasant.
There’s some side story about one of the Nazis having a forbidden affair with a local girl and knocking her up, which seems like a pointless tangent. . . until the Nazi lover rises from his watery grave and finds his daughter!!!!! She’s about ten years old, recognizes her zombie daddy right away and shows no fear even though he’s lumbered into her bedroom in the middle of the night. Forty years in a lake will make a guy pretty stinky.
Wait, Papa Zombie fathered a little girl during WWII, and forty years later she’s about ten years old? Sooooo, either she looks really good for her age, or her mother was pregnant for thirty years.
Zombie Lake features the laziest zombie make-up I’ve ever seen. It’s just a bunch of guys with green paint on their hands and faces. There’s one zombie with a missing eye, which, apparently, used up most of the special effects budget. Any time the zombies are getting in or out of their lake, their face paint runs.
And it’s always daylight in this village. Even at night, it looks like high noon, which is obviously a side-effect of not having the budget to shoot at night. That’s what happens when you spend your entire budget on a lollygagging eye, runny face paint and a gaggle of strippers.
What does Zombie Lake have going for it? Boobs, if you like that sort of thing. That’s about it. But, if you go into expecting it to suck, you can have a good laugh.
