Nazis at the Center of the Earth

While in the Arctic doing some research, a group of scientist discover a secret Nazi lair under the ice where Dr. Josef Mengele (a delightfully demented Christopher Karl Johnson), the Angel of Death from Auschwitz, is creating a race of Nazi super soldiers/zombies. The scientists are forced to work on a super secret project that is just too weird to spoil in a review. Suffice it to say that if you enjoy truly twisted horror movies, this one is for you. The action is strong, the gore level is cranked up to 11 and the story is twisted enough to have you shouting “what the ….” at the screen. Some of the effects look cheap, to be sure, but there are others that will blow you away. Director Joseph Lawson keeps the tension levels pretty high throughout, to the point where you’ll find it hard to keep watching every time Dr. Mengele picks up a scalpel.
