Oasis of the Zombies (1983)

- La tumba de los muertos vivientes
As bad as a movie can get, 14 April 2006

I don't know that it's really fair for me to write anything on Oasis of the Zombies as I've never actually seen the entire film. I've tried to watch it at least four different times, but, I can't seem to get through it to the end. Why? Oasis of the Zombies is such a complete and utter mess that I either shut it off about half way through because I just can't take it anymore or I end up falling asleep out of total boredom. Even by Jess Franco standards, Oasis of the Zombies makes no sense plot-wise and it's as dull as dishwater. The acting is atrocious. The special effects are so bad they go beyond being laughable. Oasis of the Zombies has to be one of the worst excuses for a movie I've ever had the misfortune of attempting to watch. Maybe I'll give it another go at some point in the future, but I rather doubt it.

I don't want to come across as one of those people who dismisses Franco as a no talent hack. That's just not true. There are some Franco films I really enjoy (Venus in Furs, The Diabolical Dr. Z, and Night of the Skull to name just a few), so it's not like I don't "get" Franco. I just can't imagine even the most vocal and ardent of Franco supporters enjoying this trash.
