Shock Waves

Shock Waves (1977)

Sfârșitul adânc al groazei!

După o coliziune pe timp de noapte pe mare, pasagerii și echipajul unei bărci de agrement sunt blocați pe o mică insulă îndepărtată. Spre surprinderea lor, ei găsesc acolo un bătrân care locuiește într-un hotel prăpădit. Bărbatul îi sfătuiește să fugă cât mai repede de pe insulă. Și cu un motiv întemeiat: era comandantul unei echipe SS de zombi naziști subacvatici. Și acum se pregătesc să se ridice din apă și să vâneze oamenii.

Curiozități

Shock Waves is a 1977 American horror film written and directed by Ken Wiederhorn. The film is about a group of tourists who encounter aquatic Nazi zombies when they become shipwrecked. It stars Peter Cushing as a former SS commander, Brooke Adams as a tourist, and John Carradine as the captain of the tourists' boat.

Production

Prior to making Shock Waves, producer Reuben Trane and director Ken Wiederhorn were students at Columbia University in New York City where they won the 1973 Academy Award for Best Dramatic Student Film. Their next work was filming Shock Waves as their first commercial feature film. Principal photography on the film began in July 1975, shooting in 16mm, which was later blown up to 35mm.

An issue of Cinemagic magazine shows and details the film being shot under the title Death Corps in Miami and West Palm Beach, Florida, in 1975 with a budget of $150,000. The swamp scenes in the film were shot near Miami's Crandon Park. It was later noted in the Los Angeles Times in 1978, that the filmmakers raised $200,000 to complete the film.

According to a 2013 interview, Wiederhorn and Trane made Shock Waves because the investors had one requirement: they wanted a horror movie, because, according to Wiederhorn, "they heard that horror movies have a better chance of making their money back than any other genre". Wiederhorn and Trane then "started spitballing ideas. What’s scary? Since we were going to be filming in Florida, we thought: water can be scary.
