    One of the worst movies I ever saw

    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.

    Bad movie

    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

    An utter waste of everything.

    First of all how this garbage gets made is beyond me. I'm all for independent cinema, but this is plain embarrassing. I will admit I didn't watch the whole thing because I was laughing so hard about how utterly stupid it was. I realize the budget was probably a 100k or less, but c'mon who greenlit this? I am not only ashamed I rented this, I'm sad for everyone involved. This has to be one of the worst things I've ever seen. This makes some of the terrible original sci-fi channel flicks look like Oscar material. Please whatever you do, don't watch this unless you want to laugh at how bad everything in this is. This isn't even worth the material it's printed on. On a side note this isn't going to be great because without a minimal budget it is tough to get the goods. Even though this was really bad, you gotta respect what they were trying to do. I'm sure they are actually a good bunch of normal guys trying to make a movie with such a little budget. I will still watch these guys just to support them in the future.

    Bad!

    Really bad, just because its a B movie and made on the cheap doesn't excuse how bad it is. Most action sequences are in the same bit of wood with the same line of trees. We only see the top of the factory in wide shots. How did the Captain know there was an old abandoned church when he was behind enemy lines and had not done any recon. Who thought they could pass an early 20th Century style middle American church off as an old European one. That might pass in America but it would hit any European in the face straight away! There is the sequence where you can see the squibs exploding in the dirt. The time line is ambiguous and I know there are flashbacks but they don't fit properly, and who could possible forget the night of the landings! Why did they say that, show the flashback and say it again? I think the biggest problem was just careless editing and no attention to detail, and I don't mean the authenticity of weapons and uniforms, if the film is good enough you don't notice that. But if you are bored enough you will look out for faults. Oh yeah and why, in the graveyard battle sequence, was there are truck in wide shots but close-up shots were of an armoured car that hadn't driven on to the battlefield - when they ran into the clearing there was only the field gun so where did it come from?

    This movie is a horror itself

    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.

    • Trivia
      The German armored car is a replica owned by production designer, Ken Wilson.
    • Goofs
      A scene takes place in a cemetery. Some headstones appear to be thin sheets of wood while others appear to be Styrofoam.
    • Crazy credits
      Any similarities to any persons living or dead is purely coincidental, especially any zombies.
    • Alternate versions
      A "directors' cut" that was screened in 12 cities in the U.S. and this differs from the version being released on DVD. The Directors' Cut is the film told in a linear storyline with the D-Day scenes first, not as a flashback. The opening scene from the DVD is played after the end credits in the Directors' Cut.
