action
The older officer Joe Singer, a passionate, God-fearing police officer with a difficult childhood, drives together with his new, as yet inexperienced partner Vitalio on patrol. The former war veteran Singer stops the vehicles of women traveling alone for no reason and forcibly abducts them into his remote warehouse. Vitalio observes what is happening without intervening, as his psychopathic colleague pretends to only release the traffic offender at this point. In reality, he is abusing, killing, and burying his defenseless victims. However, when the number of missing persons reports from young women piles up, the young cop becomes suspicious and confides in his friend Scott, who also works in the station.
Scott is initially stunned and suspects a violent crime, but warns his friend to approach the matter prudently and first to collect solid evidence, otherwise he must expect reprisals, and the like. a. from the captain of their turf. Fearing for the good reputation of his unit, the criticized captain presented the public with a randomly apprehended man who was pretended to be a kidnapper, but later allowed to leave for lack of evidence. He also transfers Vitalio to the back office and Scott to Springer.
Three weeks later, Singer kidnapped 19-year-old Romy in the presence of the stunned Scott. With her he proceeds as with the other victims before and kills her with an injection . What he does not suspect, however, is that the young woman, who comes from Romania, has previously obtained ritual protection from some voodoo priestesses, who she and the other four victims will soon be resurrected from the dead.
Meanwhile, Scott reports the incident to the CIA , which is taking Joe Singer on leave in the course of its investigations, as well as suspending colleagues involved in the captain of their area. Meanwhile, the five bloodthirsty women band together and discuss what to do. Some of them try to return to their living relatives, but because of their disfigurement they are rejected there. So you decide to exercise a kind of protective function for others, but first to take revenge on their tormentor. Singer, who leads a rather bleak life apart from his work as a patrol officer, is soon visited by the quintet in his warehouse and brutally killed by the women. The ladies' troops eat their victim and then throw their remains into the sea, without knowing, however, that due to their ritual incantation, he too will be brought back to life.
Six months later, the five women are in the vacant positions in Revier 707 when Joe Singer wakes up from the dead at the end of the film.
Reviews
“'Ulli Lommel's ZOM-BIE-NA-TION' screams the opening credits and leaves little doubt that [...] Ulli Lommel [...] actually identifies with this difficult-to-tolerate amateur no-budget production in two ways anemic chamber play about a psychopath with Oedipal obsessive-compulsive disorder and his murder victims chattering alive. Shock for genre fans, but not the one hoped for. "
"Ulli Lommel next to the trail in a memorably failed horror trash film."
Zombie Nation ranks 7th on the IMDb list of the 100 worst films (as of December 2012)
