Burial

Burial is decent enough post WWII story that was horrifyingly mislabeled. Only substance that's even remotely haunting is that a group of soldiers carrying a casket around. In aspects of a war movie Burial manages to present yet another side story of the post WW society that's still grasping the new realities. Gloomy skies with dark woods beneath are tone setters for a darkness refusing to cease it's existence. Cast puts up a fine performance to portray the exhausted soldiers struggling to finish up the final assignment. Apart from it's historical value there's hardly anything that sparks for this flick. But it would pass the time just fine.

As others said, this movie has no supernatural or horror elements besides some intense moments with out of place music. Annoying, since it keeps popping up with actual supernatural horror and werewolf movies. It also has a lot of historic inaccuracies, far more than justifiable for plot, so I can't even recommend it for history buffs. It's also somewhat hard to follow at times as while the audio is 99% in English (with mostly English actors as well), they're supposed to be switching between Russian, Polish, and German with only a throwaway sentence to indicate the change in language. Three stars if only because it does look decent for the budget and none of the actors are completely terrible.

This is a Director Ben Parkers 2nd movie, give him time. There's a little insight at Polish people misery in WWII, which I am sympathetic as an Estonian. Our nation suffered kind a similar fate in WWII, like a meat grinder between nazi and soviet forces.

Overall, a simple war movie. No big battles, no big fancy special effects, no big budget. Idea is good, I think, but something is lacking. Or maybe it is bad editing. There are some really odd moments. Like if actor takes his hand form under coat and it is full of blood looks like homemade movie. But then again if it would have been Tom Hanks maybe it had been ok. But anyways director Ben needs to keep going.

This movie was categorized as a horror film on Amazon. What a mistake! Definitely not a horror film.

With that being said, I was totally disappointed with this 6.99 rental. The film is watchable but more of a lower budget war film. War is horrific but this is not a horror film. Absolutely zero horror here. If looking for a decent lower budget war movie about small group of Russians transporting the dead body of Hitler, give it a shot otherwise I'd say run from this mess. This one is a bit of a bore with just enough to keep one viewing. This on could have been great given the premise but came up quite short.

The tagline "attacked by nazi werewolves" is extremely misleading. The term is also used for nazis behind enemy lines fighting guerrilla style. There are no supernatural elements in this movie. As soon as I figured that out I turned it off.

I can't tell if this is a purposeful misdirection or just sloppy marketing. It definitely does not belong in the horror category, which also adds to the 'werewolf' misdirection.

The problem is I am sure this is a pretty decent movie. From what I saw everything looked well done and well acted. The story itself seemed interesting enough, it's just when I turned the movie on I wanted a werewolf movie.
