Strictly average movie

... View MoreThere are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
... View MoreGreat example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
... View MoreFirst of all, this "based on actual events" gets thrown around a lot these days. Yes its true, WWII did happen. That's probably as far as I would accept the "true events" aspect is. It's a war movie with a supernatural theme running through it. The acting is not bad and it takes us back to the WWII movies of the 60's and 70's where the nazi's were always played by Brits. There is one ss Lt that has a German accent for some unknown reason, as everyone else in nazi gray has a British accents. It has some hard to follow parts, the spontaneous combustion and resurrection in some kind of time warp for example. Thats just one of the many flaws that you will come across in this movie. If you're looking for Oscar (tm) caliber performances or writing, look elsewhere. If you want a movie that doesn't take much thought and is a decent time killer, give this one a try. Don't expect much in the way of horror though. Its fun for what it is, a "B" movie that knows its a "B" movie.
... View MoreI went out of my way to look up this movie after I watched it to try to figure out what the hell I just watched. After looking it up I was still so shocked the people that made it thought "people are going to love this!" that I had to then create an account for this website and spread the word that I would rather stick a bee hive on my head than to watch that again. The people that gave this a good review... what? How? Did we watch the same thing? The entire movie made no sense at all. Nothing was ever explained to the audience. Random ghost things, seeming like people died twice, people just vanishing into ashes, random scars and seeming like people were possessed? Just made absolutely no sense from start to finish. I've never seen a worst movie and this is my first and will be my last movie review. It was that bad I took the time to take a dump on it just to save someone the 99 minutes of their lives. You're welcome
... View MoreForget the complaints about British accents on German soldiers, forget the complaints about Indian tomahawks being wielded by a German with alleged native American blood (untermensch anyone?), forget the fact this is low budget.The movie is a dreary, disjointed load of garbage simply put. The acting is wooden and cliched and, whilst the actors are dressed appropriately for their roles, their actual way of wearing said uniforms or behaving around weapons is amateur at best. One gets the feeling that their 'military & technical advisor' was a pre-teen who had played CoD WW2 on campaign mode.Add to this, a high school drama club production team and cast and you have the perfect recipe for utter tripe.This hasn't got a cute twist, a solid performance by any cast member, an interesting storyline or anything else to hold the viewer's attention. Those suggesting there are little nuances to explain the plotline must either be working for the production studio or have a plentiful supply of hallucinogenic drugs.This is 'old school horror / sci fi'. The is immature, hackneyed dross.
... View MoreRight from the opening credits of Soldiers of The Damned, we know what sort of film we are about to view. With opening credits very reminiscent of Army of Darkness, I cant help but feel that if Sam Raimi made a film featuring Nazi's, then Soldiers of the Damned might well be the result. Taking the often told format of 'men on a mission' Soldiers of The Damned injects the 'genre' with a dash of the type of Germans often seen in the world of Indiana Jones. A fun film, whilst gory in places but its a fun gore and not the emotion draining seriousness of films of recent years. Schindlers List this isn't (not does it try to be), Soldiers of the Damned it is'
