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

Fantastic!

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

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/

when i first bought the movie, i was encouraged by it's front picture and the 4 awards on it! i knew it was low budget but the sight of Hitler and the march of his soldiers was tempting... any way, i watched it and then got depressed for 4 days straight... it's an awful movie with the same scene repeating itself and with monster/zombie masks as if it was 50 yrs ago! i really liked the doctor who is by far the worst actor in the world.. who doesn't know how to cough.. i am able to make a better movie with only a few of my friends, a camera , some masks and guns ,and not more then 5000 dollars :) p.s: the only way a person would watch this movie is because of the picture on the cover :S

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.

This movie really is the pits. I don't know if a load of college gin-ks have got together to make this pile of half sun-baked dog dirt but it really is truly painful to watch. We see from the start of the film some edgy CGI war plane effects, followed by a load of greased-up unknown actors in dodgy war clothes prancing up and down in what looks like someone's back garden or a public park, to some very dodgy hand grenade explosions and fire crackers from all the toy guns everyone is holding. They look like a bunch of weekend warriors. There are some occasional nice cool acting scenes but only sporadically and these are generally followed by cheesy one liners such as "Sir, I think there is another one!" Keep an eye on the graveyard and you'll notice some of the grave stones wobble about like polystyrene blocks when the actors fall behind them, probably because they are just that. The editing is just as painful and the watcher finds it difficult to assess the scenes that are amateurishly put together becoming lost in the boring and pointless plot. The "monsters" are not scary and look like something out of the local amateur dramatics society...cheap looking face masks and all! This is one movie to avoid. Only watch if you are a die hard weekend warrior or 'B' movie fan . Ouch! Where is the aspirin?
