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

GazerRise Fantastic!
Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
DavidBarak Horrors of War isn't a great film, I think everyone can agree. However, there ARE redeeming qualities.Most of the acting is decent, a fair amount of the "non-fantastical" story line is a bit deeper than a lot of people realize, and the special effects are pretty darned good for a low budget film. Of course, some of the look of the film is due to the use of military re-enactors, and that adds a lot of authenticity to the film. Yes, there are shortcomings, but for a first-time feature as complex as this and with such a low budget, I'd say it was a success.This film may possibly be most interesting to budding filmmakers out there, who can see what's possible with some creativity and a lot of sweat. If you can, check out the behind-the-scenes videos online and you'll learn about some of what went in to making the film, and some of the decisions that had to be made on the fly. You really should check these videos out online if you want to learn a bit about your craft.
kenny_ek93 There not much more to say about this movie than that it's super uber-crap. The acting was terrible and the story was dumb as hell. This movie is a big disgrace to all WW2 movies, like Schindler's list and the pianist. I know this is a horror movie but still.I don't know what the director was thinking at time, i'm guessing he was drunk or had used drugs when he said: "Yes i like this story, i'm gonna make a really crap movie out of this."All i have to say is: don't waste any money on this piece of crap movie.Utter crap. 1/10
JoeB131 This movie was made with a bunch of WWII re-enactment types, and it shows, with a bunch of overweight, middle aged guys wearing WWII uniforms.Throw in some werewolf makeup and some zombie makeup, and there you go.The plot line goes something like this, the Nazis are developing hard to kill zombies to reek havoc on the advancing allies. Except these Zombies tend to kill German soldiers as indiscriminately as they kill allied soldiers.So the guy who first encounters them is sent on another mission to scout out a factory, but he never gets there because his squad stops off to rape some French babes and get mauled by their werewolf brother. Except one of his surviving squad members is infected with lycanthropy, and they send him out to help find the Nazi Zombies on the next mission. Can we call them Nazombies for short?) Toss in some bad CGI, some filming of some WWII re-en-actors, and voilà, you have a mess of a movie made for about $12.65.
ultra_tippergore 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
