slade146 Take my word for it, this movie is horrible. I would be ashamed of myself to be an actor and have my face shown in this movie. I have never posted a comment on any movie ever and i felt it necessary to post a comment on this movie to warn everyone. I myself love watching ww2 movies and this one i stopped watching about three quarters of the way through. The idea that this movie had was a good idea about Hitler's paranormal likings but the movie should in a high budget Hollywood film.I rented this DVD and im just happy that it only cost 1 dollar to rent where i live. Im so sorry for anyone who rents this film.
DonSwanson As soon as the end credits rolled my wife said, "They need to come to my 4th grade writing class." My wife teaches 4th grade writing and her students would even be able to see that this was poorly written.The first half, the werewolf story, was just plain bad, bad, bad. Poorly directed, edited, written... just poorly executed all the way around. It seemed like 2 stories cheaply thrown together. The 2nd half, the zombie/super solider story, was decent and much better executed. The first half has nothing at all to do with the 2nd half... this film would have been much better if the 2nd half were fully developed into a complete story - the US solider who became a werewolf had no relevance other than for a laugh when he wondered back to the church naked (my wife and I both laughed aloud).I know this was directed by two guys, whoever directed the 2nd half deserves some credit as the same actors gave much better performances, and as I stated above, it was overall better executed. The climax was a letdown, and way too easy. The script was full of clichés, and the music was stock until the very end.However, for the most part the cinematography was pretty decent, and kudos for production design/value. Also, there were some pretty good performances in the 2nd half, too bad no clear idea/story was ever developed and the film ended up being pointless.Despite poor writing and direction, it is admirable to see some true independents pull this thing off, flawed as it is.If you do not appreciate "true" independent film, or are not a "Sci-Fi Original" kind of movie fan, stay away… but if either of those fit you, than it's worth a view.I'm not upset that I dropped my money on it, just be sure that you understand what it is before you drop your money on it.I'd give 5 stars for the 2nd half, but the 1st half is half of this film, and that sucks that 5 down to an overall 4.I'd like to see what the director of the 2nd half would do with a decent script - there was promise there, and there were a few moments in the first half as well.
TheEmulator23 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.
mark-aston 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?
