5 Films That Would Win Oscars In A Bizarre Parallel Universe

2. Zombie's Lake (1981) - Best Picture

19.02.2013zombie I just don't know if the world is ready for a zombie Oscar. But if it were it would go to a director of Romero or his ilk - not a Jean Rollin spewed mess of a film like this. Yes it was Jean Rollin - he finally admitted to it after years of hidden embarrassment. Shame! Shame! Zombie's Lake throws bucketfuls of female nudity at the screen in the desperate hope that you won't find out how inept it is. The story of a haunted lake with Nazi Soldiers coming to life may have seemed like a good idea, but it is so poorly executed, you will either wet yourself laughing or hang yourself. It is possibly the worst film ever made in the world ever. The green zombie make up doesn't extend to behind the zombies' ears. We are led to believe that a zombie can recognise his own daughter and walk hand in hand with her down the street. It is only worth watching if you want to view the underwater gynaecological studies of female basketball players swimming in a pond. So bad that in Anti-Oscar land, it would have won best Best Film for all of the nudist shots that comprise the majority of the film and that were probably filmed in Jess Franco's swimming pool.
