If it only were half as good as the movie poster
Horrors of war Movies isn't as bad as I thought it would be, but it's so bad in an entirely different way.
It begins in Germany during the end of a war when US soldiers run into a Nazi zombie soldier. Then we are taken a couple of months back when soldiers run into a soldier who was taken captive by the Nazis. He tells if a creature that killed all the Nazis and of a man who seemed to be in charge.
Lt. Schmidt is sent to investigate to France and his platoon runs into this creature that turns out to be a werewolf for some reason. He returns with a report that no one believes. Then he sent to investigate something else and this time they run into a Nazi super soldier zombie. He returns with his report and this time is sent to investigate the man who may be responsible for all unexplained events- the man the soldier saw earlier.
The Lt. is joined with Capt. Russo and they don't get along. They find a factory were they run into more zombies and find the researcher responsible. In the process, a US soldier who was bit by the werewolf turns into a werewolf and fights the zombie movies . Then for some reason, the Americans decide there is no way to kill the zombie unless one of them takes the zombie research serum! This is a low budget movie were the production team put in an awful lot of effort, they managed to get ahold of tanks, jeeps, and tents of the era. The acting is quite good by the leads.
Voice-acting is excellent. Action-acting so to speak isn't. Almost everyone looks terribly goofy pretending to be soldiers and shooting a rifle. Remarkably, all the characters are great shots with their little rifles and wipe out squadron after squadron of Nazis with machine guns, artillery, and tanks.
The real problem is the story. In the behind the scenes featurette we learn that this was supposed to be an anthology of three 30 minutes stories. And it would have worked better that way. For some reason a producer made the completely erroneous decision to force the team to come up with one story out of those three. And that's why so little works here.
He must have thought Nazis, werewolves, zombies, sounds good! but it doesn't, it's not a video game. A few days before shooting began, the writers were put in this bind and they just couldn't make it work. All the blame falls on the one producer. I can appreciate the effort and the acting but the story just doesn't add up.
