This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
... View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

... View MoreIn World War II, Finnish troops and American troops attempt to investigate a Nazi bunker that lies inside Germany.After spending some time with Wikipedia, I see that there was little historical support for the idea of American and Finnish troops to be operating together against the Germans. America was the ally of the Soviet Union. Finland had been fighting the Russians off and on for about 150 years. During most of World War II, the Finns were allied with the Nazis based in Norway and Germany against their longtime enemy, Russia.So, the setup of the film is nonsense.The 'action' scenes are boring or inept.As a zombie film (the bunker in Germany supposedly contained experiments to re-animate the dead), this is a bust. The main clue that a walking biped was a zombie was 'did we not already kill that one?' or words to that effect. A few zombies had glazed over eyes. The gloomy, heart wrenching threat one expects from the Zombie Apocalypse environment was absent.-----Scores-----Cinematography: 3/10 Dark. Poor camera angles. Colour palettes so reduced as to be only slightly different than greyscale.Sound: 4/10 Horrible accents. Background music was not an asset.Acting: 0/10 Terrible performances.Screenplay: 0/10 There was a screenplay? Where was the exposition of motivations? There was a lot of stilted dialog that generated confusion. The joint group just drifted from one disaster to the next. The film seemed more of an elimination derby of nameless characters that were impossible to care anything about.
... View MoreYet again another staggeringly bad entry under the zombie banner. The movie has zero character development which leaves the viewer with nothing to care about. The writers should have watched predator or at least the first 15 minutes, it's a master class in how to set up the protagonists. Add to this the thinnest plot imaginable and you really are left with something you purely just stare at for 90 minutes.This means all that is left are the action sequences. I was often left wondering what the hell was going on and who was killing who. Action scenes were messily shot and in between you were given little more motive than let's drive this car over there to the next scene. The director clearly had been brushing up on his band of brothers and private Ryan as the film does mimic their look but only to a degree. The scene from Ryan where the Jewish soldier and German soldier wrestle over the knife was practically lifted wholesale and chucked in, laughable.These were not zombies, Nazi or otherwise. More like mutants.To address the "if you love zombie movies, you'll love this" or genre lovers (zombie or horror). I ask you this, why would you like or love this? It's terrible. I love zombies and horror, so much that this film irritated me. You may love zombies too but if you rate this at all you also simply like awful films too. That's fine but this particular film is a disservice to an already struggling genre. Avoid this watch Dead Snow.
... View MoreThis is a combination war story and horror film that could have been better than it was. The suspenseful and creepy atmosphere is there along with plenty of action to keep you from losing your attention. The acting was fair and perhaps it could have been better.The story however doesn't explain or go into much detail about the secret sinister experiments that were conducted in the bunker. This I feel should have been elaborated more which would have improved the story quite a bit making it far more interesting than it was.This is one movie that at first seems to be promising but later on lets you down with disappointment. One can only feel afterwards that this movie could have been better than it was. It had all the potential to be a 1st rate horror film.
... View MoreThis movie does everything a B-movie needs to do, to get your attention. It's pretty trashy, it's pretty out there (who cares about historical accuracy anyway, right? ;o) ) and it does have some extreme ideas and still some decent acting (all judged by the limitations of budget of course, don't compare it to a blockbuster). If that sounds intriguing to you, than do not mind the silly name of the movie (though maybe the silly name prepares you somewhat), but do watch the movie and just enjoy it as it is meant to be.Having said that, if you can't fathom the idea of mistakes, ridiculous behaviour, OTT acting or OTT special effects at times, plus some explicit scenes of violence, than you might want to stay clear of this. It is not a great movie by any sense, but it will entertain you, if you let it.
