This film starts out looking like a period piece akin to the classic Frankenstein then takes a sudden turn into Zombieville with necromancy, magic, and sex everywhere. Yes, sex... with zombies. Yes, it is as confusing and disturbing as it sounds. If you can stomach the bizarre zombie sex, the rest of the film is atmospheric, beautifully shot with rich costumes and detailed sets, and packs a few interesting twists on the theme of "eternal love". I found it strangely haunting, even if some of my friends just found it disgusting. Very much worth the watch if you are strong of stomach and curious of spirit!
What I would expect from Clive Barker. Touches on his Hellraiser style nicely. Definitely an R rating here for nudity, sexual content, violence, and a bit of gore. Not the greatest makeup or sfx, but with the “made for tv” budget I’m sure they were working with I’d say it was done well enough. Harkens back to the old Tales From The Crypt stuff. Fans of such would enjoy I think.

Masters of Horror - Haeckel's Tale Wow... that's all I can say... WOW!!! This zombie flick is simply amazing, it's different from almost any zombie movie I've ever scene. The cast is great, the costume and set design is superb, and the atmosphere is terrifying. This movie is creepy in so many ways. You have to see it yourself to understand why I love it so much. McNaughton does an amazing job and this film will have you squirming from beginning to end. Final Verdict: 5/5 Rent or Buy?: This is one of the MoH films I'd buy on it's own, however I still recommend you wait for the box set to save yourself some money. That being said, if you're going to wait, get to the video store and rent yourself a copy of this movie today. IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.Read full review

Pros + Twisted & disturbing. + Nice creature effects. + Love the period setting. Cons - Why don't the zombies eat the girl? Comments The costume & set design are really great. The cast is right on target. And there are some quite disturbing scenes you don't see in the average zombie flick. Verdict Must see for any fan of horror or any Frankenstein fan.
