I recall seeing this movie on our local CBS station late night Friday Chiller Theater. That was likely 1977 or 1978. The movie makes more sense if back then when WWII was merely 30+ years away and my dear dad was a career Army kid as an officer in the Far East, but I knew of kids who dads fought into Nazi Germany and the artifacts they captured. Our dad had a Samurai sword, for example.
Buy and update to a blu ray player and that blu ray has multiple commentaries. The directors first US movie, for example, they had no distributor. They only had a few couples and had to drive the reels from city to city which became impossible. That is why it saw early TV distribution.
Compare this movie to Zombie Lake, Oasis of the Zombies, or Night of the Zombies and Shockwaves is miles above this other more mainstream drive in B mess ups. Sure it could of been improved, but the newer stuff does not appeal to me as do not need to see blood and guts being eaten over and over.
