　　故事发生在某知名企业，以收到的一封电子邮件拉开序幕。这封电子邮件将会从根本上威胁到企业的生存，好不容易才查出了警视厅公安部的一个警部与这家企业有着密切的关系，但是，特别监察官却企图竭力隐藏可供查明真相的线索。为了调查案件真相而被提拔的，是即将被革职查办的白州胜彦(椎名桔平饰)和秋吉宗贵(窪塚洋介饰)二人。
　　专门调查警察组织内部犯罪的特别监察官室，对某个危险人物进行了调查。他就是警视厅公安部警部的石卷修次。由于他与大型胶片制造商——DAITO公司相勾结，并且与中国黑社会组织的关系等等，一直令人怀疑，说不定哪天就会引发足以导致警察机构崩溃的爆炸性新闻。
　　为了掌握石卷的动向，警察厅特别监察官室长——御代田警视正，决定起用二个将被革职查办的警探对警察组织内部进行调查。这两个警探就是白州胜彦和秋吉宗贵。白州胜彦——在毒品交易现场射杀嫌疑犯后，拿走作为证据的现金。秋吉宗贵——有女装癖，在警视厅盗窃女警制服。
　　与此同时，DAITO公司本部收到了一封奇怪的电子邮件恐吓信，送信者署名“溺水的鱼”。电子邮件上宣称：如果不能满足信里的要求，不但DAITO公司本部，就连其设在东京都内的DPE照相馆也将受到毁灭性的打击。虽然这样的要求让人感到不可思议，但是这种威胁根本无法判断其真伪。DAITO的四个照相馆的显影液箱里都被掺入了漂白剂，顾客的胶卷也因此全部报废了。罪犯的手段虽然周到、完善，但又不同于一般的恐吓企业犯罪。“溺水的鱼”的目标并非是金钱，而是指名要求DAITO公司的管理层高级职员，到来往行人众多的地方，自己进行有损自己尊严的行为。鉴于这些高级职员们的爱社精神，他们不得不流着泪、可怜兮兮地在众人面前一个个地活活丢丑……
　　某个星期五的夜晚，石卷在富有才气的图像艺术家——冈部哲晃所经营的俱乐部举办的特色娱乐活动“同性恋之夜”上露面了。为了潜入调查，不太情愿的白州和略显几分兴奋的秋吉假扮成一对同性恋情侣，混进了这个狂热而令人窒息的俱乐部……

　　继《鸡皮疙瘩》之后万圣节又一乱斗式恐怖喜剧《Freaks of Nature》，#人类#大战#吸血鬼#大战#僵尸#大战#外星人#，脑洞又大了！

　　Set in an unspecified French village, the locals are shocked when a group of girls skinny dipping in the nearby lake (all very tastefully done I hasten to add) are killed by a group of zombiefied Nazi soldiers, that spring up out of the waters and drag them down to their demise.
　　A couple of detectives are brought in to try and solve the mysterious murders, only to end up as the zombies next victims. It turns out that during the war, the French resistance ambushed and killed a squad of German soldiers and dumped the bodies into the nearby lake, but failed to take notice of any of the local superstitions (never a wise move). Although, seeing as this film appears to be set in the early 80's, why it's taken so long for them to emerge and start killing people is a bit of a mystery, but there you go.
　　Not-with-standing, the villagers quickly organise a lynch mob to take down the zombie menace, only to end up being decimated by the undead soldiers, who's 'convincing' zombie make-up basically consists of green paint, which doesn't even cover the whole of the actors faces and keeps washing off in the lake.
　　There's also a bizarre sub plot about one of the zombies visiting his former daughter, who strangely still looks all of 12 despite the fact she should be in her 40's if she was born near the end of the war, but then since when did logic ever come into these films? Such as why do their uniforms still look almost new despite being underwater for 40 years, or how come the skinny dipping girls are only knee deep in the water when viewed from the lakeside, yet appear to be swimming in 12 feet of it from the underwater shots?
　　Bad acting, naff zombie make-up (the aforementioned green face paint), painfully obvious underwater shots filmed in a swimming pool, not to mention the plot inconsistencies bigger than the aforementioned lake itself. Low budget doesn't even begin to describe this film, which quite unbelievably was directed by respected Eurohorror director Jean Rollin, albeit under the pseudo name J A Laser.
　　That's not to say the film isn't without merit. I bust a gut laughing at the thoroughly ridiculous scenes of the zombies attacking the naked young girls, and the equally ridiculous slapstick battle with the angry villagers. Utterly hilarious, grab the six pack and the popcorn and have a blast!
