Nazis at the Center of the Earth

Did you ever wonder whatever became of Dominique Swain, Lolita to Jeremy Iron's Humbert Humbert in 1997? I have an answer for you. She does films like Nazis at the Center of the Earth.

Sounds bad?

It is.

A group of very smart people (scientists!) working in Antarctica stumble upon a Nazi lair - you guessed it - under ground (not nearly at the center of the earth, but whatever). Down here, Josef Mengele is still alive (or, again) and the young scientists did not find him and his minions by accident. One of the group (played by Jake Busey) was secretly working for the Nazis all along, recruiting brilliant minds for their weird project, which requires them to skin people alive and possibly eat one or two (not sure, there was a confusing scene involving some of the works-in-progress and a young woman).

Given the involvement of Nazis old and new this would obviously be (a) a horror film and (b) in poor taste (incl. a scene in which the women scientists are going "to the showers").

Also, the film sees the return of the big bad wolf himself, Adolf Hitler (or parts of him, or whatever).

This was direct-to-video. I am not surprised.

1/10
