COMMANDER SCAR DANGEROUS OLD DUFFER FROM FLORIDA OR COOL KEEPER OF AQUA ZOMBIES?

IT'S #MONSTERMONDAY, where we start the week looking into the souls of the poor unfortunates who give us the fright factor in some of Peter Cushing's most chilling cinema classics! This week, for those of you who managed to catch Cushing's performance in the 1977 under water zombie fest 'SHOCK WAVES' ..we ask you to consider the following...was his character SCAR, a Monster? A Murderer and all-round -World War II Bad Egg OR the sad remnant of a terrible time in world history, just left alone to rot along with those 'sea bobbin' zom-bods? OR is SCAR a totally first class chap and ahead of his time, bringing us the very first Nazi-zombie genre flick, the terrifying cinematic concept of underwater -all-swimming-all flesh-munching-aqua-zombies?? YOU decide!

GUIDO HENKEL'S TAKE ON BLUE UNDERGROUND'S 'SHOCK WAVES' BLU RAY

Here's an informative, helpful and honest review from Guido Henkel of the Blue Underground blu ray and dvd release of Peter Cushing's 'SHOCK WAVES', due for release November 25, 2014. Please follow link at bottom of feature.

'Cool, incredibly scary and very imaginative, the film is now presented with a brand new high definition transfer that has been taken from the only surviving elements. Shot on a minuscule budget on 16mm, the transfer does exhibit some grain, of course, as a result of the original source material. The amount of grain depends from shot to shot. While some are almost free of it, others are truly riddled with it, as difficult lighting conditions put their strain on the technically limiting 16mm film stock. I am very glad, however, that Blue Underground resisted the urge to digitally scrub the film and instead opted to present the movie exactly the way it was originally produced, grain and all. Not only does it keep the film’s integrity intact, but it also plays on its artistic sensibilities because the grain gives “Shock Waves” a certain gritty look that perfectly fits the movie, adding to its qualities...'

SHOCK WAVES: FINE DETAIL ON BLU RAY AND EXTRA FEATURES REVEALED

It's COMING... freshly transferred and fully restored in High Definition by Blue Underground from the only known surviving materials!

Beneath The Living… Beyond The Dead… From The Depths of Hell's Ocean!

In the dark days of World War II, the Nazi High Command ordered its scientists to create a top secret race of indestructible zombie storm troopers – un-living, unfeeling, unstoppable monstrosities that killed with their bare hands. They were known as The Death Corps. No member of this horrific SS unit was ever captured by the Allied Forces – and, somewhere off the coast of Florida, they have survived…

Peter Cushing (STAR WARS), Brooke Adams (INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS) and John Carradine (THE BOOGEY MAN) star in this suspenseful and genuinely creepy shocker co-written and directed by Ken Wiederhorn (RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD PART II). One of the great horror "sleepers" of the 1970s, SHOCK WAVES has been freshly transferred and fully restored in High Definition by Blue Underground from the only known surviving materials!
