French exploitation from the early 80's.
The scene is set instantly - a young woman is gazing at a lake, stark bollock naked.
The music is lurid and sleazy, matching the films content perfectly.
Anyway, it turns out that the lake in question is inhabited by the zombiefied living dead corpses of a platoon of Nazi soldiers.
Yep, it's the old Nazi zombie combo again!
Well, in truth not much happens.
Every so often a fresh batch of young things turn up, take their clothes off, cavort, before taking a swim and being despatched from beneath by the unquiet dead.
The nudity is very graphic (vulvic, if you will), and the gore content low, but the atmosphere is rich and, simply, they just don't make movies like this anymore, which is a real shame.
Not for everyone, that's for sure, I thoroughly enjoyed this, and not just for the obvious reasons ;-)
