Horrors of War

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

Man, I just don't know why I keep falling for such movies. Their concepts sounds greatly entertaining and silly enough to expect a good and fun movie from but rarely do this kind of movies ever work out as such.

It's not hard to say what is the foremost problem with this movie. Thing is that this movie of course has a totally ridicules and far from convincing main premise but yet the movie decides on taking a serious approach with it all. When you have such a low budget and so minimal resources there simply is no way that you can make this movie work out as a serious one. Had they decided on a more entertaining and over-the-top approach the movie would at least had been fun to watch. It now is mostly a boring one that is awfully bad looking.

The movie is a mixture of WW II and horror in which all different kinds of monsters show up. Sounds exciting perhaps but it just really isn't. The movie gets never tense because it's all done quite poorly. It's good and fun and all that the film-makers actually had the resources and the money at hand to make the movie their way but it's clear that they just aren't the most talented people around and the fact that the movie is so cheap looking works really distracting from the movie and prevents the story to ever work out. You just never get into this movie or any of its events are characters, that all remain amazingly flat. I really can't tell who's who in this movie.

The story is also pretty messy. Things seem to happen pretty randomly and often the story is all over the place. The story makes often sudden jumps as if whole sections of the movie are missing from it. It prevents also the story from really ever flowing well and what it is lacking as well is a main plot line.

Because of the way how cheap the movie is looking, it also often becomes a laughable one, for all of the wrong reasons. I don't even think the movie intentionally tried to be bad, since as earlier mentioned, the film-makers fully seemed to go along with a full serious style of film-making. The special effects are ridicules and look like something everybody can make on their home computer. The costumes of the soldiers don't even seem to be authentic looking and lets not even get started on the creature effects.

Horror fans also won't really enjoy this, not even the ones that enjoy watching bad B-movies. There simply is no excitement, scares, surprises, creative originality or any gore.

The movie is just one bad looking and badly made bore-fest.

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.

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.

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?
