Warning, if you watch this film, be prepared for an ending so abrupt that the deceleration may cause whiplash! If ye is brave enough to watch this film, be prepared for a totally unsatisfying ending where absolutely nothing is resolved other than the sheriff still has no clue what is going on and the deputy for reasons that are lost on me, still is alive swinging his club around like a goof. Also, the makeup on the zombies makes the makeup in Hell of the Living Dead look Oscar worthy, but at the same time, the makeup on the zombies in Zombie Lake make the ones in this one look Oscar worthy, so while not good, not that bad either. There are some good kills and you get to witness the most realistic response ever put to film of what your dog would do if you were to be mortally wounded!

The story, gators have become missing in the swamp and it takes nearly to the end for things to come together as we finally witness the most redneck houseboat party ever. A party where the interior was clearly not that of a houseboat, but rather a living room! A meteorite strikes and we get zombies in the swamp, not so much alien dead though. I would think something with alien in the title would do a bit more than stumble around like zombies and just eat people. It is up to a reporter, the female Shawn Michaels, her dad and the game warden to stop the alien undead and they fail, only taking out maybe two of the things...

The makeup as I said is not top notch at all, but nor is it bottom of the barrel. Italian low budget zombie films tend to do better, but French ones do worse! Good gore here and there, but an overall cheap look to the film which is not surprising considering the 12,000 budget. No actors of note with the exception of Buster Krabbe who is not well known, but was in a lot of serials and such.

So, not that good of a film, but kind of a fun watch as it is just so unintentionally funny. I was not laughing at the deputy's lame attempts at adding humor, but was laughing at that dog and when Shawn's dad died with the lamest death scream ever! The zombies are on the very inconsistent side as they take hails of bullets and other things, but one of them is taking with a wire pick comb. The ending is the absolute worst thing about this film though as in a zombie movie it is okay to depict the zombies triumphing, but you do not leave the heroes floating down the stream while the sheriff and his deputy who have been no use make a joke!
