Made during the Filipino exploitation film boom of the early 70s, this film tried to mix the war film with elements of the horror movie but comes up way short on anything horrific. This is basically a WWII action film but with a facially disfigured, insane and homicidal soldier on the loose killing everybody. He reminded me of Alex Winter's freak makeup in his film FREAKED. Ultraprolific Filipino character actor Vic Diaz gets his head chopped off before being riddled with bullets. It's amazing what you could see in PG-rated movies back in the 70s.
