What happens

Zombie Lake (French: Le lac des morts vivants; Spanish: El lago de los muertos vivientes) is a 1981 French–Spanish horror film directed by Jean Rollin and starring Howard Vernon, Pierre-Marie Escourrou, Anouchka Lesoeur and Nadine Pascal. Vernon plays the mayor of a small French town under attack from Nazi zombies who were killed by locals twenty years earlier. It received marginal praise for an unusual angle involving a little girl and her zombie father, but was otherwise lambasted for its production values, and became emblematic of exploitation house Eurociné's output.
