Review – The Zombies of Mora Tau

Here’s proof that the practice of squandering a cool concept on terrible film-making isn’t a new phenomenon. The idea here is that a wrecked ship contains a fortune in diamonds. The catch is that the wreck is guarded by amphibious zombies who don’t react kindly to attempts to remove the treasure. Something could have been done with the set-up, but not this. The story is dullness itself, running something like “argue about the diamonds and oh no a zombie attack then argue some more and oh no another zombie attack and so on and so on.” And naturally it has logic gaps big enough to drive a train through. Perhaps if the monsters themselves had been something scarier than extras sprayed with a hose, that might have helped. Sadly, this one has nothing going for it but its premise. See if desperate
