Trivia:
In the German dubbed version, the German soldiers speak French. moreGoofs:
Anachronisms: The pistol used by several of the men in the movie is in fact a Webley Mk.IV, not a Webley Mk.V or Mk.VI, which would have been correct. The Mk.IV (.38 calibre version) was not designed until the 1920s. moreQuotes:
Cpl. Doc Fairweather: McNess, what are you doing?Pvt. Willie McNess: Leaving!
Pvt. Thomas Quinn: Well that's the best idea I've heard all day.

Hey now, I've looked at this before and passed it up, but finally took a chance and wow, I really liked this. This is not, however, the "feel good" movie of the year. A group of British soldiers lost somewhere in Europe stumble across a German entrenchment, kill all the remaining Germans there save one, and move in to take over. But what are they taking over? They can only communicate with the soldier by one of their own, in French, and the soldier tells them they will die there. Lots of mud, lots of rotting bodies, and....something else. What that something else is isn't ever clear though, but that was OK, left more to your imagination, and left the ending open to your own philosophical interpretation, I guess. One soldier has a severed spine and is paralyzed, watch for the scene where he's regaining movement in his legs. This is some nasty ugly stuff; barbed wire with a life of its own, the captain slowly losing his mind, one crazed soldier is out for brutal torture because he likes it, etc. This is all very well done and the feeling of being in trenches with lots of dead bodies and whatever else is there is pretty claustrophobic. I'm not one for straight war movies but with the horror and supernatural stuff going on here this one was a real winner with me. Recommended, but be prepared to squirm a bit.
