Netflix has updated its streaming horror selection. A whole ton of crap, like Dr Orloff's Monster, Dr. Orloff and the Invisible Man, the Howling 5 & 6, and 5 Dolls For an August Moon.

With the exception of 5 Dolls (a Mario Bava flick I don't think I've ever heard before) all of these are Horror movies on my List (i.e. I haven't ever seen.) But the one I'm most excited about, almost to the point of being giddy, is Zombie Lake. I finally get to see Zombie Lake! I'm so excited I can't hardly stand it! :D

Which no doubt means the last shred of good taste has left me. Probably for good this time. Not surprising, really. After I watched Blood Freak it did threaten.

But anyway. I'm off to watch it now! I see that Jess Franco helped with the screenplay. Last thing of his I watched was also a zombie flick: Oasis of the Zombies. Surely Zombie Lake couldn't be worse than Oasis, right?

Right?

Right?

Please?

The only thing I really remember is that Ed Wood-worthy line, "Let's get away from this heap of hicks."

Pantsless Nazi Zombie...a line waiting to be used on an unsuspecting jerk in like at the 7/11...heh, heh, heh...

I think OASIS was worse, due mostly to it's being more boring. There's so much 'stuff' happening in ZOMBIES LAKE at any given moment it has a certain berserk entertainment value that's missing from OASIS. It's certainly better shot, too, assuming all prints of OASIS are as murky as the one I have on a fairly old VHS release. For what it's worth, LAKE also features 70% more nudity than your average horrible and inept monster movie, which at least keeps things interesting aesthetically.

It features 70% more nudity than an OB/GYN med school lecture.
