The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

After finding his long-lost brother who was held captive by a maniacal Nazi officer on a remote ranch, they learn of his true purpose in trying to gain the secret of immortality and race to stop him before he can accomplish this involving the ranch-hands trapped with him.This one was a really entertaining effort, though still somewhat flawed effort. One of the biggest parts to this one is the fact that there's quite a lot of solid action scenes within this one that generates quite a frantic pace that keeps things going along. Their first raid on the house, appearing from the river into a surprise ambush with a fine firefight with the family and manage to overrun the farm which gives them the upper hand during the battle and serves as a strong launching pad for the rest of the film. Featuring a great story that introduces a nice mixture of occult, black magic and the supernatural, and a rather insane streak that constantly keeps things off-guard by generating a lot of great action scenes mainly in the barn which features a lot of really innovative moments from the numerous scenes of the reanimated animals going berserk and attacking everyone in the kitchen, this is rather enjoyable overall. Introducing the later fun of the reanimated family members and letting them get bundled together with the continuous mentions of his occult studies and need for the black magic within here, there's some rather nice scenes to be had here which really plays a strong part getting a strong sense of action for this one. Likewise, the finale really sets that in motion with a rather enjoyable concept for finally finishing him off and yet also allowing for plenty of generally enjoyable action scenes with some nice chasing and some fruition of the black magic which makes for a really enjoyable time. Throw in some gore and it's even better, as this one is pretty bloody at times since the reanimation factor gives this one a chance to allow for multiple reasons to kill off the same figure and really scores nicely in aiding the fun to be had from this one. These issues here make this quite enjoyable though not without some flaws, which is mainly in that the main villain doesn't really do a lot to inspire fear beyond ripping off his face numerous times. This is entirely problematic as there's something wrong with a film that doesn't have an oppressive main villain like this one as that seems to be his main trick here, his lack of logic doesn't stay consistent from scene-to-scene and a few unexplored areas are left unanswered as for why he managed to accomplished his tasks completely unnoticed all these years or the fact that nobody went searching for his prisoners which really leaves a lot of that part of the film to seem like a rushed, completely inconsequential series of explanations that make no sense. Still, this one was a lot of fun.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Brief Nudity and strong violence-against-animals.

The story is very weak. They tried to give the movie some background by throwing in Nazis and Hitler's ambition for immortality but to no avail. Take out the Nazi bit and its a horror cliché, with a sorcerer turning himself into monster to be immortal and has to consume blood to go on. Gee we haven't seen that one before!The zombies (vampires?) are not scary and the main guy is first a mummy then he becomes Hellraiser without the pins. The animal slaughter is not scary but simply repulsive.I've only given the movie 5 stars because Henry Cavill is super hot and gives us at least something to look at (yes I'm superficial so what?) and Michael Fassbender steals the movie in the short time he appears as human. Don't waste your time if you're not a Cavill fan like me.

This is a horror movie about a Nazi necromancer, that means he can raise dead things to do his bidding. The actor interpreting the Nazi is Michael Fassbender. The director is Joel Schumacher. Now, with a premise like that, I expected a great movie, especially since I've read a review describing it in very positive words. Instead, I get a slight twist of a typical zombie/monster movie. I was disappointed.What was amazing was how the movie started. Fassbender coming from Germany to the US, doing his nice guy voice (but with a German accent) explaining to a little girl how he can raise the dead, now that he had found a runic stone. Then a lot of detailed action and scenes explaining the story of the paramedic brother of a soldier lost in Iraq. Then suddenly the brother returns, all rags and long hair, asking for help to get guns and shoot people.Then the film turns into the typical "group trapped with a monster and they have to kill him before it kills them" thing. The dichotomy between to two parts of the movie was shocking, like someone did two different films and then spliced them together, and therefore I can't really recommend the movie, except as a well done monster flick. Go in with low expectations and you might enjoy it fully.

*****************SPOILER ALERT*************** It just makes no sense.Medics working in the middle of a shooting with the deranged shooter walking with the gun meters from them. They are working on a guy who is splurting blood in the liters from his neck, talk about quick reaction and being immune to reason. The police are not shooting a loony who points a gun in their direction. People "drinking meth" and then explode while this all takes place.The vet is in super shape after 2 years of hanging in a trailer used a as a blood bag. 1 long range rifle, 1 shotgun. The vet storms the house with the rifle and gives the shotgun as long range backup to his brother. The vet doesn't explain anything to his brother. The vet takes his hippy anti-violence brother with him but not his brothers in arms. The brother takes anti-rabies with him on a pay back mission. And uses this while his brother is storming a house full of maniacs. The vet doesn't kill the people that tortured him for 2 years. And that was the whole idea. The vet's place has been taken a week before he escaped. The vet's wounds are healed. 100 year old guy with knife in left hand is shot in right shoulder 1 sec before planting it in vet's chest and suddenly decides to run to no logical destination, away from his mother an sister. And this is a guy who has been slaughtering for at least 70 years. An 80 year old in a young body can't kill a retarded hippy standing 1 meter away with a knife she has been using most of that time. The medic doesn't hold any resentment for the people who tortured his brother. And falls in love with one. After telling everyone for 15 minutes how he would have died for his brother. Whom he resents deeply 5 minutes later. The girl tries to kill the medic for no reason. The monster escapes 5 minutes after the storm the house for no given reason after being 'locked up' for 70 years.Guy trading 5 crates of glass jars of jam(?) for a bag op onions and some apples. Even if this was just for the suspense, it is still retarded.Guy executed by a shot to the head, brought back from the dead and is put down by destroying his ... brains.etc etc etcNot a second of this movie makes any sense whatsoever.And it could have been so easy. Make the escaped brother the medic (and leave him wounded and hurt but knowing they have to act now). And the vet the one out for revenge for his brother and the one people blame for his disappearance. Direct the anger of the vet against the people on the farm first while the escaped brother knows more but is not believed by the vet. Add in a nasty bit of juvenile abuse/love by the Nazi to explain the knowledge of the girl to destroy the monster. And have her release he medic out of love for a good heart. Have the monster binded to the stone until his metamorphosis, but with most of the needed stuff (why does he take the bone-armor with him from Germany?) to destroy him in his circle of influence. This one could do with a make over. Why is it that people used to think before they shot or published? Nicely shot though. Just turn your brain off before you press play.
