Hitler. Puppets. Zombies. Kril.
BandSAboutMovies25 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Hitler didn't die, but after World War II he was taken to Antarctica. However, plans fell apart and now his decaying zombie body is being kept in Adelaide, Australia while Dr. Josef Mengele prepares an alien-infused immortality serum for the Fuhrer. If you haven't stopped been offended or stopped reading this by now, then you're the audience for Hitler Lives!

While Hitler rots away in his new bunker, the world has moved on. Once, governments and agencies worshipped him and begged for his counsel, but now his dream of a thousand year Reich and taking the ubermensch to the stars has changed to embrace global one world government and bitcoin.

All Hitler has is a radio that barely works, powered by baby angels ala Eraserhead, living with the dreams and nightmares of the past as he slowly decomposes. His memories are shown to us via puppets and newsreel footage, interspersed with moments where he communicates with Mengele via video screen. Oh yeah - there are also burlesque dancers.

There are no professional actors per se in the main roles. Hitler is played by Morte, the singer for Australian black metal band Nazxul and his bandmate Rev. Kriss Hades also is in the film and created the soundtrack.

Your ability to enjoy this film will be colored by your patience and how many Nazi conspiracy books you've read. Seeing as how I can speak at length about Die Glocke, the Thule Society, the Ghost Army, inner earth theory and more, I made it through the film, even some of the slower parts.

Hitler Lives! is the first movie written and directed by Stuart Rowsell, who has worked on films such as Alien: Covenant, Scooby-Doo and two of the Star Wars prequels. The effects are pretty great and after all, when else are you going to see Hitler with breasts?

So underground it is literally underground!!
gregderbarbar4 September 2019
I don't usually write reviews on low budget films (my favourite films) but i have started to recently on ebay, as i see alot of 'hate' and very little people bother to 'like' ... so i 'like' this very low budget quirky film. It has a few clearly budget related issues - but it kept me wide eyed and chuckling - more than most big budgeted films these days. We need more 'original films' like Hitler Lives and less remakes ...

The movie is worthless
melika-beauty4 January 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The relative security of today's world is owed to Hitler's efforts. Do not mock ourselves with the dirty money of the Zionists and make useless and worthless films like this, and do not insult the minds of the audience.

A screwball demented Terrific film!
lorenzoestevez16 February 2018
I love the internet for linking me to these oddball Hitler movies and this movie i just watched was one of the weirdest Hitler movies yet. It contains a sickly zombie Hitler, an abusive doctor Mengele screaming over a video screen, scary puppet nazis, ghosts that dial in radio stations, nude babes singing songs, world war dreams and nightmares full of a revolting baby birth, alien brain autopsies and a campy ufo ending that i need time to recover from .... ! No thanks to the film makers for hurting my brain and my eyeballs .....

I think this movie just burrowed into my brain ...

An epic, interesting, twisted, can't-unsee cult classic-to-be.

Worth watching a few times to catch and savour all the weird bits.

Sure to become a cult classic!!!
vickyviolet13 November 2017
I could praise this film for days! Surreal!!! Captivating!!! Disturbing!!! Morte is perfect in the role of the tortured zombie Hitler, and one cannot help but feel a sense of pity for him, trapped and largely forgotten as he is, in a bleak and lonely bunker. Daily he struggles to reason via a strange communication device, with the utterly insane Mengler, and he has nothing but old newspapers, a broken radio, and faded, haunted dreams of grandeur, to further fuel his decent into madness and despair. Surreal, beautifully shot and edited, interjected with vintage Nazi Reich era footage -the sets, campy prosthetics and special effects as well as a full cast of masterful puppets of generals and world leaders, were beyond expectation. Loved the final plot twist and end scene, which I shall not reveal!

Hitler goes death metal! \m/
randyrhodes-9068020 March 2018
A totally surreal exploitation film - so weird it is like a mix between 'salad fingers' and 'pink flamingos' !!!! The production budget is at the level of being so punk, one wonders how they got the film made at all! Rev Kriss Hades (guitarist for 90's oz death metal bands Sadistic Execution and Nazxul) acts in it and does the soundtrack ... also amazing to watch Morte (vox for Nazxul and Rev Kriss Hades), slop around as the pathetic drunk cretin Hitler. This is a grimy, nasty little film that has to be experienced with the death metal turned up to max! \m/

a B-Movie horror with puppets!
jasminhameister23 February 2018
I LOVE dark, gloomy goth films. The poster art lured me into this way out there film! Hitler Lives was a grimy, revolting, shock-and-awe horror ( ew - the baby birth was so disgusting!), nauseous, with a creepy voyeuristic puppet twist - be prepared as it is an extremely low budget B-Movie - and the audio sounds awful - but i was glued to the screen by the presence of the terrorfying zombie Hitler creature and the mad scientist....

High quality no budget art film here.
greemo-1900124 September 2018
If Lucifer Rising or Red Dwarf are not your thing best to stay away. If Tetsuo Bodyhammer or Eraserhead were something you couldn't understand when they were released, but now times past and it's hip like them. Go watch a jump scare thing. This is an art film, posing as a cartoon snuff film, it's more like a play. A play for death, drone, sludge metal monster madness. This isn't funny quaint puppets and full of the same old horror you're used to. It's weird, odd, fragmented and even contained pressure because it's made with the most limited buckets of cash. This is pure conception art, made out of what was able to be used and not trying to be anything else. It's amazing it was even made. And if you're a fan of Nazxul, Rev Kriss Hades, Sadistik Exekution, why haven't you seen this you are missing out.

A guy in a bunker, a mad doctor and hilarious puppets!
adrianarae17 August 2018
This is one of the most twisted films I have seen! It's like Wagner meets Monty Python with lots of bizarre characters, outrageous lines, gross bits and scary bits. It was made with no money, and anyone who doesn't appreciate it is a dork.
