...or 'at the earth's core', or whatever it was called. Well, it appears to have been retitled 'bloodstorm' for uk release, and is out a week late. Cover has a bloody nazi head emerging from an icy hole.
Unless the asylum have made two nazi-themed horror films starring busey-boy and featuring josef mengele. I wouldnt put it past them.
Anyway, i know some people, myself included, were waiting for this to appear- i had no idea about the last-minute title change, as it was still under the 'nazis...' name when i asked in hmv a week or two ago.

No, it's just you.
Yep it's in HMV in Cardiff today.
It was on TV a few weeks ago (https://forums.2000adonline.com/index.php/topic,34966.msg690511.html#msg690511), previous discussion here:

Nazi's at the Centre of the Earth.
Yes it's Sci Fy Channel brain chowder again. Undead Nazi's in the Antartic! Yes everyone, beneath the Planet of the Apes lies a Hollow sphere world ruled by the master Race who preserve themselves by flaying unfortunate visitors of their flesh queue gory face scalping.
But these interlopers are American dammit. So though they are Scientist, abused and sexually molested by mouldy Uber mensch they rebel against the nasty Deathless ones who are led unbelievably by an Actor who appeared in the Katy Perry video 'Hot and Cold' as the Priest/Vicar. Jake Bushey [named ReichStag here: yes subtlety is not this films strong point] was another American who turned Nazi then back again to good old Uncle Sam [spoiler]blowing up the Nazi super saucer in heroic self sacrifice.[/spoiler]
'Why did he do this you cry?! ' unable to control your feverish excitement for this bilge water Tv trash?
To destroy [spoiler]ADOLPH HILTER[/spoiler] no less reborn and badly computer animated as a giant cyborg intent on leading the world back into his beneficent clutches!!
It doesn't get bigger than that and this Film helped me regain my faith in nothingness.
The Jake Busey character made me laugh every time he appeared on the screen - those teeth!! that hair!! he's a scientist??? His name is Reichstag??
The film was awful, obviously, but a notch or two better than the usual Asylum/Syfy films but what amazes me is that they don't have someone with half a brain go over the script and tighten it up. They went to the bother of hiring actors, throwing a lot of CGI at it and it was both an interesting concept and a rather outrageous implementation but it often felt slack where a bit of extra tinkering would have done he world of good.
The Dread Central review I linked to earlier:
QuoteMuch of the movie early on is quite mean-spirited and fairly brutal; at the same time it really is hard to take any of it seriously because the premise is so out there to begin with and some of the plot twists are nothing short of hysterical. You got hollow earth, Nazi zombies, mad scientist experiments, people getting skinned alive, Nazi zombie gang bangs, flesh-eating bacteria, disintegration ray gun shootouts, a gigantic freedom-crushing Nazi UFO, and that special something I dare not spoil other than to say I began choking on a potato chip I was munching on from laughing so hard.
You also got chintzy blue screen effects work, some less than convincing CG work, and moments of incredibly clunky dialogue. The motivations of Busey's character seemed to switch on a dime, sometimes within the same scene. It's the sort of movie where two characters kiss during the finale, and until that moment we had no real inkling that the two were romantically involved.
But you know what? Dark and brooding one minute, laugh out loud ludicrous the next, pacing that goes from methodical to madcap in the blink of an eye, blood, boobs, and even a biomechanical beast, such are the makings of your quintessential Joe Bob Briggs worthy drive-in movie. On that dark and violent and nuttier than a fruitcake level, it certainly entertains. It doesn't always work, but somehow it works. You know what I'm saying? If you do, this movie is for you.

Worth watching if you catch it on TV but I'd not buy the DVD (and I have a zombie Nazi/Nazi zombie* section in my DVDs), unless it was really cheap...
* I'm also not convinced there are any zombie Nazis in this.
I was hoping for something along the lines of DEAD SNOW with this film. Fortunately, I read the above comment before seeing how much it was going for on Amazon...
