Horrors of War Trailers

HORRORS OF WAR derives from the "B" movie, Grindhouse tradition, made to play like a like a midnight movie. It is an independently-produced film made in a B-movie style, yet with a dramatic grounding and an eye toward bigger production values.......FILM SYNOPSIS: 'Feeling the pressure from Allied advance, Hitler unleashes his secret weapons giving rise to a type of warfare the world has never seen. Throughout the European theater of WWII, Lieutenant John Schmidt comes face to face with these "weapons." The Office of Strategic Services (O.S.S., precursor to the C.I.A.) initiates missions behind enemy lines to find the source of the weapons terrorizing U.S. soldiers fighting the Third Reich. Schmidt is joined by Captain Joe Russo and his group of war-hardened GIs who have experienced for themselves the all-too-real horrors of war in battle. Together, they must find and destroy Hitler's horde of nightmare weapons before his horrific vision can be fully realized

The title of the film seemed appealing as well as the photograph of Hitler and his Nazi soldiers. They mentioned no such thing as zombies. Even if they did, it wasn't obvious. Right when it ended, I vowed never to watch it again; if anyone wants to make a film about war and historic points of view, then they just need to make it - and NOT involve anything that involves horror - such as zombies. I'm not a fan of horror films, and this one, I must say - pretty much narrows it down to what kind of film I think it is. Seeing Inglorious Basterds, Valkyrie, Saving Private Ryan, etc - they're nothing compared to this film. And where in the world was Hitler while the zombies were being 'murderous'? I saw no sign of him, whatsoever. Absolutely despicable film in my eyes. TO THOSE WHOM ARE WAR/HISTORY LOVERS OF THE FILM INDUSTRY: DO NOT BUY THIS FILM; IT'S A TOTAL WASTE.

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.3/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Horrors of war is a very ambitious movie for an independent one. Its a horror movie set in the World War II, with the costumes, the weapons, etc. The makers of this one should be crazy to tried such a "pharaonic" project with a B-movie budget, but they succeed. Horrors of War is a good movie, well made and entertaining. Its about a group of American soldiers in the WWII that, in the middle of the battle, discover some super strenght zombie Nazis (and monsters, and werewolves....yes its crazy). Maybe the bad thing about this movie is that it takes itself too serious and the plot, with all the zombies and monsters, isn't exactly "serious". But, its a good movie. Worth a watch or two. 7/10

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.
