Review of Shock Waves

Shock Waves (1977)
Overlooked but excellent 1970s "Zombie" treat...
12 October 2005
Rather than re-watch Rob Zombie's homage to 70s flicks, or any of the modern remakes of the "Living Dead" films, why not just dig up some of the little seen but really good original 70s stuff? There's a lot of it out there that deserves to be seen, and this is one of them. There's a lot going for it, atmospheric soundtrack, decaying old structure, handful of frightened folks out of their normal element, the walking dead, plans for escape all go awry, very typical of the 70s pre-slasher horror genre. But this is one of the best entries, surprisingly better than I remember it to be when I saw it back in 1979 on tape. Back then, being an immature young kid, I though it was slow, but now I see it's a steady build of tension.
