action
Two teenagers attack a young woman. Before they can rape them, they are stopped by a family man who one of the two then stabs to death in front of his wife and son. Years later, the now grown-up son was run over by young people who immediately hit the road. His mother then calls the woman, for whose rescue her husband paid with his life, to help. This performs a voodoo ritual through which the son is resurrected as a zombie. This is now sent on a campaign of revenge. First, he kills two of the five teenagers. A short time later a third one (the one who drove the car). The police then catch a suspect, but one police officer remains suspicious. He continues to investigate and finds out that the voodoo priestess was always at the scene a short time after the murders. He speaks to his boss about it, but he rejects the suspicions as unfounded. As soon as the police officer has left his boss's office, he picks up the phone and informs the father of the last young person who was murdered. It turns out that these two are the ones who once ambushed the voodoo priestess at a young age. Shortly afterwards, the father is murdered by the zombie. The last two teenagers are then also killed by the zombie in a workshop, without the police being able to stop him. He follows the zombie to the cemetery, where he meets his boss, who has captured the voodoo priestess and brought with him. The story finally clears up here and the police captain shoots the zombie and his summoner. Just as he wants to shoot his subordinate, who now knows the truth, a grave opens, another zombie emerges from it and pulls him down into hell.

criticism
“Unspeakable Canadian no-budget horror, whose greatest ( sic ) achievement was being a target for the TV series" Mystery Science Theater 3000 "in 1996. Bodybuilder and rock singer John Mikl Thor ("In the face of hell") goes on a campaign of revenge as the undead, which is accompanied by suitable hard rock (Motörhead, Pantera, Thor). "
“'Zombie Nightmare' is simply one of the worst horror films on both sides of the eighties and cannot be enjoyed either as a curiosity or as a trash experience. In short: one of those strips that every stubborn all-rounder should keep away from. "
