Shock Waves, also known as Almost Human and Death Corps, is a horror movie from 1977 directed by Ken Wiederhorn. It features Peter Cushing as a Nazi commander who commanded a division of SS soldiers - 'Der Toten Korps', who can 'live' ("they are neither dead or alive, but somewhere in between" says Cushing) underwater - intended to man U-boats which need no oxygen and never need to surface. The film also stars John Carradine and Brooke Adams in her first film. With its chilling scenes of Nazi zombies rising out of the sea, Shock Waves has become an underground "classic" horror movie. Director Ken Wiederhorn's additional horror credits include Eyes Of A Stranger (Warner Bros. 1983); Return Of The Living Dead, Part II (Lorimar 1988); and A House In The Hills (Live Ent. 1993; more accurately described as a suspense thriller). The main theme backdrop ship is the SS Sapona, a concrete-hulled cargo steamer that ran aground near Bimini during a hurricane in 1926.
