Oasis of the Zombies

Treasure hunters seek out an oasis that… hold on to your seat… has ZOMBIES at it.

Also called Treasure of the Living Dead and who knows what else, this film came back from the dead in 1983.  It stars Manuel Gélin, Henri Lambry, and France Lomay.  Jesús Franco wrote and directed

La tumba de los muertos vivientes/Oasis of the Zombies (or Treasure of the Living Dead, or Oasis of the Living Dead, or whatever you want to call it) marks the first time I (knowingly) watched a Jesús Franco. As such, I’m going to leave it alone for the most part for its part in the reboot.

Ha ha, just kidding; I reworked the whole thing to spite myself. Oh unnecessary work, will you never lose your appeal?

Another thing worth noting is that there are several versions of this film. This particular review covers the French version. What’s the difference between versions? Not enough to be bothered with beyond noting as I recall.

On the next page we being our journey across the sands to a land of undead horrors. Big smiles all around.
