Radioactive waste dumped into the sea resurrects and mutates dead bodies. The living dead rise from the sea and feast on unsuspecting youths of a seaside community.

The Good

This movie’s got it all! Beaches, boobs, bikes, pajama parties, monsters, music. This film might not take itself seriously, but it’s an awfully lot of fun. This movie also gets right down the point during the first five minutes. Amazing!! By the time it’s to the fifteen minute mark, I’m really into it.

Very fun feature.

The Bad

Where to start….plot holes as big as Swiss cheese. Some one dimensional characters that disappear all the sudden. Audio tracks sometimes don’t sych up and is noticeably spliced in. Hokey science. Continuity problems, middle age folk acting as teens and Tina can’t act like a drunk slut even if her life depended on it.

Yes folks, it’s so bad, it’s good.

The DVD!!!

This is one half of Dark Sky’s Del Tenney Double Feature disc. The video and audio is really great. It surprised me how clear the movie looked and sounded. Extras include an interview with Del Tenney himself as well as commentary on the movie. You also get a trailer and some visual material as well.

Conclusion

This a fun little movie that is sort of a guilty pleasure of mine. Check it out if you have free time or you want to make a long day shorter. This is a good cheesy movie.

SODIUM!!!

2 and a half stars.

The son of a warlock successfully kills himself and comes back from the dead. He then encourages his friends to do the same. They ride together as one undead biker gang.

I think one of things that really stands out with this movie is the soundtrack. The roving guitar adds an element to the movie that you don’t see in other English horrors. You also have a very original story that was played almost wonderfully. And they accomplish the whole film without an once of gore. All pure terror. The acting was great as well. There is much detailed performances.

I really can’t find anything negative to say about this movie. Sure it’s somewhat slow, but there’s a good reason to keep it slow in order to better understand the story. Other then that, it’s squeaky clean. A real gem of 70’s British Cinema.

This should definitely be in your collection. My only suggestion is that you can get this at anytime. The DVD is totally bare bone. Unless a special edition comes out, I’d say get this at your own pace. Enjoy.

3 stars.
