The Supernaturals
Nichelle Nichols is an army sergeant who leads her platoon into the woods of the deep south on a training exercise. Unfortunately, it is the site where a bunch of yankee soldiers murdered a town of confederates. The corpses of the dead soldiers rise up to wreak revenge.
Why it matters
A rare ’80s Southern gothic war-horror hybrid that fuses zombie vengeance with lingering Civil War trauma.
- Nichelle Nichols commands the platoon with a steely presence rarely seen in genre leads of the era.
- Practical effects bring the restless dead to grotesque, swampy life—B-movie charm with a tangible grit.
- A unique blend of military thriller and supernatural revenge taps into America’s haunted history rather than generic scares.
- Ideal for fans of regional horror and ’80s low-budget cult curiosities that mix social undercurrents with undead carnage.
