Fortress of the Dead

Twenty years after then end of the Second World War an American soldier returns to the Philippines to visit a friend. Uncomfortable with the fact that he survived while 37 friends suffocated in a fortified bunker because he couldn't get help, he returns to Corregidor to try to put the ghosts to rest. Eerie ghost story more akin to an extended Twilight Zone or similar horror anthology series. Helped enormously by location shooting that puts you into the ruins of fortress and the surrounding village this is a film of slowly building tension.This is a horror movie that doesn't look or behave like any normal horror film, which probably explains why its not better known. More short story than full movie (it could probably be improved if it lost about 15 minutes and was trimmed to an hour) it none the less keeps you engrossed and watching from start to finish. Its a small gem that's worth searching out (though make it a double feature night)
