10 Horror Movies With Nazi Villains

10. Oasis Of The Zombies

Look up “Watching Paint Dry” in any film guide and you will find a review of this tale of WWII soldiers who encounter Nazi zombies in the African desert. Hiding under the pseudonym “A.M. Frank” is director Jess Franco who's no stranger to plodding exploitation films, though here his direction consists of removing the lens cap.

Oasis Of The Zombies is so dull, in fact, that the producers edited in battle sequences lifted from Heroes Without Glory (1971), a forgotten Italian war film. It didn’t make any difference. Given the lack of craftsmanship on display, you’d swear Franco set up the shot and walked away.

In a succession of sequences so interminable you’ll be reaching for the remote, no-name actors spout meaningless gibberish about finding themselves while zombies in shoddy make-up lurch through the desert to an overblown musical score. At least the similarly themed Zombie Lake has some unintentional laughs.
