1st watched 9/28/2014 -- 2 out of 10(Dir-Edward Cahn): Idiotic plot holes and storyline make this one of the worst zombie movies I've seen -- especially since it was put out by a major studio. Basically the movie put's Hollywood hotties with a paranoid old woman in the hunt for treasure in Africa that happens to be guarded by the living dead. The living dead in this movie are composed of the original treasure hunters that died in their quest and now are forever in the position to make sure no "live" people get to it. The old woman -- played by Gene Roth -- knows this fact and is the wife of one of the original. She stays in this locale while her dead husband roams --- hoping that the loot is found and destroyed --- reversing the curse and bringing the zombies to their final resting place. The movie is predictable, slow-moving and is hard to get thru even at it's measly 69 minutes!! The acting is fine but the screenplay makes the players do too many idiotic things, and the finale doesn't even make any sense. Gregg Palmer and Autumn Russell play the main couple stars destined for each other if they don't get killed by the zombies. Allison Hayes is the buxom typical adversary that all of these type of movies have to have. This movie is a waste of money by the studio apparently trying to capitalize on the zombie fad. Clearly made studio sets make up where the zombie's lie that's supposed to be a cave (this is hilarious). The print I watched is very clean so Columbia studios must have used their money to keep this film alive -- for some reason. I see very little merit in this movie -- maybe it was the studio's very early attempt at the genre so they restored it for historical reasons. More money wasted on an extreme mess -- skip this one.
