I guess the zombies were cool though, despite a few scenes where it looked like they were missing their poorly done zombie make-up. And they sure had some odd tendencies...for instance they liked to lay down in the shallow water, or on the ocean floor. Basically it was their m.o. and was for no apparent reason. If I had cash for every time the flick showed zombies laying on the water floor I'd have about enough cash to go to Wawa for a week straight, getting Red Bull and a b-fast sandwich each time. Overall it was just an odd movie. I really need to remember who recommended this to me?? I think it was the same guy on the internet that recommended the Langoliers and Satan's Little Helper.
Definitely the best parts were the zombies walking underwater and coming out of the water. Even the death scenes were weak. It also seemed that everyone in the movie, stuck on this one-hotel-having-island, were forced to wade through water in order to go anywhere else but inside the hotel. Like, to go see what was going on over there, they either needed a boat or needed to wade through hip high water. We also saw a few mistakes, like some of the dead guys breathing or starting to get up because the scene was over.
As far as a good underrated zombie flick goes, this one does not fit.

Although it did get repetitive with the Nazi zombies rising out of the ocean suddenly and as a group, I must admit I liked that. It was funny and in my head I like to imagine that the actors had fun doing that. I think they probably could have made the entire film in one day, agree? The acting was fairly awful but the zombie actors did show excellent discipline in not breathing during the underwater scenes, there were zero bubbles. So in that one aspect they did appear undead, good work guys. This could have been alot better though had there been some gore & guts, and perhaps a few quality death scenes. Somehow by the end of the movie all but one character are dead, and I can't really remember how any of them died. That's not good.
Also, per iMDB just before Peter Cushing starred in Shock Waves, he had a big role in the original Star Wars. Wow, what a step down.
Maybe I should give it a D+, but aside from stone cold zombie hardasses, the movie seemed to lack. We forgot to mention the freezer scene where whatshisface lost his marbles. Bye. And thanks for the Treogsmonster.
