Oasis of the Zombies (L'Abîme des Morts-Vivants) is a 1981 film by cult film director Jesus Franco.
The plot involves treasure hunters who track down a lost fortune in Nazi gold in the desert, only to discover that the treasure is still guarded by the soldiers transporting it, who have become zombies.
Oasis of the Zombies is in fact the French version of a Spanish film originally entitled La tumba de los muertos vivientes. The French version has different scenes and a different score, and must be considered as nothing more than a producer's cut. Only the director's cut includes the scenes with Lina Romay and Eduardo Fajardo.
