action
During the Second World War , German scientists experimented on a new type of person who can defy all environmental conditions. You are creating a new human-like race of living robots, the so-called SS death brigades. These almost invulnerable undead troops, endowed with supernatural powers, spread fear and terror on the battlefield and destroyed everything that stood in their way with their bare hands. Since these inhuman fighting machines are uncontrollable, regularly decimate themselves and do not take orders from their superiors, even consider them as potential prey, the uniformed men are put into an artificial deep sleep after the end of the war and sunk together with a ship near the coast. The legendary combat reports from allied troops have been forgotten over the years.
The Caribbean in the present. Two local fishermen recover the floating rose in a small dinghy, which is disturbed and reminiscent of the latest events and lets them pass in review. She tells her rescuers her story of suffering, which began with a chartered old excursion cutter.
A motley crew of seven on a dilapidated excursion boat witnesses a strange natural phenomenon , which among other things triggers a mysterious seaquake . A little later the compass goes crazy, the cruise ship drifts around disoriented. During the night the old boat is almost rammed by an old freighter that appears out of nowhere. Only the courageous intervention of the inexperienced mate Keith prevents a major accident. The next morning the ship ran into a mud bank at low tide and the captain disappeared without a trace. The four stranded day trippers decide together with the two remaining crew members to go ashore to a nearby island when they discover the captain's body in the shallow coastal water. Seeking help, the castaways then wander through the unexplored wilderness to a semi-dilapidated property, whose apparently only inhabitant, a Nazi scientist and former SS commander, warns them and urges them to get out of the island as soon as possible. Despite all the warnings, the six stranded sleep in the house.
Meanwhile, as a result of the seaquake, a sunk shipwreck reappears. The incident reactivates the experimentally changed SS combat soldiers to new life, who instinctively rise from the shallows and open the hunt for the living. The overpowering men are only programmed to kill, they have no mercy and are soon marauding across the island. Little by little, the uninvited guests are decimated by the uniformed amphibians with protective goggles. The small community of fate then confronts the aging host, who reveals himself to the group as a former SS commander of the German armed forces. The ex-officer then expels the stranded from his property and subsequently tries relatively unsuccessfully to control the host of the undead. However, he falls prey to his own evil creatures.
Due to the deadly threat posed by the fighting machines, the pressure on the fugitive survivors to fight off these attacks increases. Because of a lack of cohesion, the group that has since found an effective remedy against the undead Germans - they are extremely susceptible to sunlight; removing the sunglasses is enough to eliminate them - gradually decimated until only Rose and the brave ship's mate Keith flee the island. In a dinghy, the two survivors row towards the safe sea when Keith is attacked again and killed. At the end of the film, Rose drifts unmolested out to sea, where she is known to be picked up and rescued by the two fishermen.
