Here is horror that can happen NOW... TO YOU!

195569 min5.1 / 10

A pulpy 1950s sci-fi horror about reanimated corpses controlled by a vengeful crime boss and Nazi scientist, blending atomic-age paranoia with creature-feature thrills.

Murders, with victims dying from spines broken by brute strength, erupt in the city and the killers, when encountered, walk away unharmed by police bullets which strike them. A police doctor's investigation of the deaths leads to the discovery of an army of dead criminal musclemen restored to life, remotely controlled by a vengeful former crime boss and a former Nazi scientist, from the latter's laboratory hidden in the suburbs.
