双胞胎姐弟珍妮（梅丽莎·德索蒙斯-波林 Mélissa Désormeaux-Poulin饰）跟西蒙（马克西姆·高德特 Maxim Gaudette饰）收到过世的母亲娜瓦尔（卢布娜·阿扎宝 Lubna Azabal饰）的遗嘱，可当宣读完内容之后，两姐弟却一时难以接受这样的遗嘱：一份是写给他们从未蒙面的父亲；一份是写给她的第三个孩子——他们更是不知道这个哥哥的存在。影片巧妙的游走在两个不同的时空：母亲终其一生苦苦寻觅自己的长子；姐弟遵循母亲的遗嘱前往中东寻找他们的父亲与兄长。可越是穷其究竟，他们面对的越是理不清的头绪跟令人震惊的真相。
　　本片改编自加拿大著名法语作家瓦基迪·穆阿瓦德的同名剧作。导演丹尼斯·维伦纽瓦荣获第83届奥斯卡金像奖最佳外语片提名。

　　The Moliere players are in their dressing room, getting ready to go on set. One actor mentions to another that his face reminds him of an opportunist turncoat he knew when he was in the Resistance. He then relates the adventure that he had in the Resistance, running an illegal radio station and dodging the Nazis.

　　“当子弹开花时他们共有二十三人，二十三个在这之前已献出真心的人，二十三个作为我们兄弟的外国人……”1955年，法国诗人阿拉贡曾为一群为法国献身的移民写下这样的诗句。时间回到1943年德军占领巴黎期间，在亚美尼亚诗人米萨克·马努尚（Missak Manouchian）的带领下，一群年轻的犹太人、匈牙利人、波兰人、罗马尼亚人、西班牙人、意大利人、亚美尼亚人结成了地下抵抗组织，决心为了解放他们所爱的法国而战斗。他们冒着生命危险，进行了多起针对纳粹及其傀儡的暗杀行动。很快，他们成为了纳粹的眼中钉，警方通过跟踪、检举、要挟以及严刑拷打等手段掌握并镇压了他们的行动。1944年2月21日，包括马努尚在内的22名男子和一名女子被判处死刑。这二十三人被纳粹称为“罪恶部队”，而其后他们的形象却随着一张张红色宣传单出现在全国的大街小巷，这些为了法国的自由而牺牲的外国移民最终成为了这个国家的传奇英雄。

　　Set in an unspecified French village, the locals are shocked when a group of girls skinny dipping in the nearby lake (all very tastefully done I hasten to add) are killed by a group of zombiefied Nazi soldiers, that spring up out of the waters and drag them down to their demise.
　　A couple of detectives are brought in to try and solve the mysterious murders, only to end up as the zombies next victims. It turns out that during the war, the French resistance ambushed and killed a squad of German soldiers and dumped the bodies into the nearby lake, but failed to take notice of any of the local superstitions (never a wise move). Although, seeing as this film appears to be set in the early 80's, why it's taken so long for them to emerge and start killing people is a bit of a mystery, but there you go.
　　Not-with-standing, the villagers quickly organise a lynch mob to take down the zombie menace, only to end up being decimated by the undead soldiers, who's 'convincing' zombie make-up basically consists of green paint, which doesn't even cover the whole of the actors faces and keeps washing off in the lake.
　　There's also a bizarre sub plot about one of the zombies visiting his former daughter, who strangely still looks all of 12 despite the fact she should be in her 40's if she was born near the end of the war, but then since when did logic ever come into these films? Such as why do their uniforms still look almost new despite being underwater for 40 years, or how come the skinny dipping girls are only knee deep in the water when viewed from the lakeside, yet appear to be swimming in 12 feet of it from the underwater shots?
　　Bad acting, naff zombie make-up (the aforementioned green face paint), painfully obvious underwater shots filmed in a swimming pool, not to mention the plot inconsistencies bigger than the aforementioned lake itself. Low budget doesn't even begin to describe this film, which quite unbelievably was directed by respected Eurohorror director Jean Rollin, albeit under the pseudo name J A Laser.
　　That's not to say the film isn't without merit. I bust a gut laughing at the thoroughly ridiculous scenes of the zombies attacking the naked young girls, and the equally ridiculous slapstick battle with the angry villagers. Utterly hilarious, grab the six pack and the popcorn and have a blast!
