Horrors of War

I gave this a "3" because my wife wouldn't let me turn it off. I know this is a "B" movie, but so what? Why make it at all? The constant time shifts made it needlessly confusing. Why do that at all? And the actors all looked very similar - it became difficult to keep up with who was who.

And the effects! Bullets hitting the dirt nearby - Sparks! In the dirt? Uh, lead doesn't create sparks, but especially not in the dirt. And lead bullets certainly wouldn't make sounds like firecrackers when hitting the dirt. While there were some cool sound effects when bullets hit armored cars/cannons, the grenade explosions were also like cheap fire-crackers. Seriously. Cannons would send shells that exploded 6 feet from a soldier, a poof of smoke, and the soldier wasn't even fazed. If cannons were so pathetic - why would armies use them at all?

Another very laughable (pathetic) moment was when a captain ordered his troops to cut across an open field. The lieutenant complained, but the captain said they could save hours by cutting through the field. Then the men began their trek, never getting further than 10 feet from the tree line. How freaking ridiculous. Why didn't they just stay within the cover of the trees? A different group of soldiers mentioned that very strategy earlier in the movie, so it's not like the director didn't know. How could you not miss that? The guys are getting massacred and they never once think to run 10 feet into the trees. Instead they hide behind tiny gravestones, or run around in plain sight. Inexcusable.

I don't want to spoil anything, but this movie becomes absolutely juvenile towards the end. I'm shocked that the people filming this would actually believe adults would buy into this. Shocked and insulted. Maybe I shouldn't say juvenile. That might insult young people. This movie became infantile.

There's more specifics, but why bother. People are still gonna make tripe like this. And some dork somewhere is gonna defend it. It boggles the mind. At least I didn't pay for it! Skip this film. It's absolutely hokey.

This was one of the worst movies I ever saw. I was really positive about it when I read the cover of the DVD, and I was aware that this was a low budget movie, and I have quite a lot of sympathy for ambitious movie makers with a restricted budget. Its about improvisation and imagination.

But honestly this movie is real crap. Everything is bad, from the acting, to the attention to the detail, to the special effects and the filming as well.

Some movies are so bad that they are at some point funny, but this was just dull and silly.

Its rare to find a movie that is able to even disappoint low expectations, but that is certainly one of them.

If you like class B WWII movies, you'll love this one.

It's a low budget WWII movie around a weak history full of clichés, lacking coherence a lot of times and very confusing other times. I think they could use a better history but they didn't it at all.

The production is very simple (I think they used the same farm or park for filming all the movie), makeup is a little more than basic (just some masks and basic "monster" makeup) and there is almost no special effects at all, just some basic CGI and computer altered frames.

OK, the movie is a class B one but I think the actors did a good job with the material they had to work.

This movie looks like something a fancy and well equipped reenactment group would have created: boring crap that's only funny if you acted in it. It doesn't even have a camp value because sadly everything it's played seriously.

I stopped watching it after a while and I don't recommend it.

i have some comments about that movie , it is not good at all , because : 1- Very poor story , you cant feel exactly that u know what is going on .. 2- The scene of raping and killing the french girl has no meaning at all , and adds nothing to the story nor to the idea of the film .. 3- About the monsters , they don't differ so much than Buffy & Angel vampires , that was not expected by me , i was expecting little more action , war scenes , some special effects !! 4-Even the shots and bombs have a weak effect , as they are just children's games .. 5-It is obvious that this movie costs only 10,000 $. I think the idea is good , but it needs to be remade with a higher budget
