A non-frightening zombie is a lame zombie. Scott M. Gimple
Those looking for teenage zombies need not apply. This does have a kind of ridiculous bad movie charm to recommend it, however.
Teenagers go water-skiing and find themselves on an island occupied by a mad scientist and her henchmen. The scientist is working at the behest of an “Eastern Power” to develop a gas that will turn Americans into abject slaves. So far the gas has worked on the creepy Ivan and a gorilla. The young people look like dandy new test subjects. She proves to be no match for the resourceful kids however.
Teenage Zombies is bad in almost every way. Yet I kind of enjoyed all the non-sequitors and super-fake fist fights. There’s an early sixties wholesome vibe that’s kind of endearing.
