Zombie Nation is about two beat cops, one a seasoned veteran, the other a naive rookie. The old veteran abducts women on the false pretense that they’re being arrested for a trivial crime. Rather than driving them to the police station, he takes them to the attic of an abandoned furniture store and kills them. The young rookie, who is instructed to wait in the car, inconceivably turns a blind eye, even when his partner returns with a bulging, over-sized duffel bag and stuffs it in the trunk.

Unbeknownst to the killer cop, one of the young female victims had previously went through a voodoo protection ceremony. Shortly after she is killed, she (and the other victims) rise from the grave and seek their revenge.

This movie was so poorly made, I struggle to find a starting point. The acting was simply atrocious, and was exacerbated by the unbelievable story-line and ridiculous dialogue. Early in the movie, one of the female victims being arrested complains that her handcuffs are hurting her...even before they’re put on! And this is just one example plucked from a cesspool of continuity errors in this film.

The set design was utterly embarrassing. Lommel doesn’t even try to hide the fact that the supposed “police station” was actually some sort of warehouse or factory. The police station “offices” had rusty pipes and boiler gauges visible in just about every shot. And the “lobby” had a beat up metal garbage can inappropriately placed near the entrance. I would think that even in such a low budget film, they would be able to find a more suitable location and put more effort in the set design.

While the film is called Zombie Nation, the five or six zombies do not even appear until the end of the film, and they looked absolutely ludicrous. No effort was put in the zombie make up at all. Rather, they simply had dark circles painted around their eyes, which made them look more like racoons than zombies.

While I watched this film, the question that kept popping in my head was, “Are you serious?” I couldn’t believe that such an awful horror movie could be made. It’s almost as if Lommel purposely tried to make the worst possible horror movie he could. Maybe he was attempting a scam similar to the one used in The Producers. But unlike the surprise hit of "Springtime For Hitler", there’s no possible way Zombie Nation could achieve any kind of success.

Normally I try to find some redeeming quality to the movies I review, but I don’t think that’s possible with Zombie Nation. Save your money, and don’t bother with this one.
