Review of War of the Dead (2011) by Simon P — 17 Mar 2013
"Like an episode of Band of Brothers with zombies" says the quote on the front of the DVD case. Overstating it somewhat, I'm afraid. At least this film has a plot and - shock horror! - Nazi zombies! Cue the usual excessive number of head shots and, intriguingly, an equally excessive number of fistfights with zombie Nazis.
Yeah, that was an odd thing to acclimatise to. Zombies look good, there's a bit of production value but it's not nearly amusing/serious enough for it to be rated any higher - the main issue here is the script, it's trying to be Outpost but falls well wide of the mark.
I'm happy to report however that this is another film with a Rickman-style plummet from a vast height, so I can't really grumble too much.
