Synopsis

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

stanzisaenz 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.
KAYOWAS I don't really know why some guy insists on hanging on to a camcorder and filming his beer buddies playing soldiers vs. monsters!!!it's plain silly!grow up!after seeing this i thought a six year old produced the movie!but then i realized that this is just wrong even for a child!To summarize :acting - bad ,story - bad,FX - horrible...what else remains? i gave it one star for two reasons: 1.the site won't let me give it a -10 and 2.one good thing:they've managed fairly accurate guns&uniforms!but that's all!So we must complain Hollywood is very childish and unrealistic when indie movies go far beyond that????The discussion is long but the cast&crew of this movie leaves me with the feeling that even if they would have had a triple budget this would still be rubbish!so long!watch this movie and see for yourself!
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?
