Product Description
March 1942. Captain Martin Stone leads an American unit on a mission to join forces with an elite platoon of soldiers and destroy a Nazi bunker. But when the troops find themselves being attacked by the same enemy soldiers they had killed in an earlier ambush, they quickly begin to question who exactly the enemy is…an SS experiment gone wrong or the living dead?

OK - so historical accuracy and a few accents might not be less than accurate but the film is about Zombies - reality might have to take a back-seat. Take it for what is is: guns, explosions, dodgy experiments and zombies that like jumping around in the woods.
And as zombie war flicks go 'War of the Dead' is pretty good. Andrew Tiernan as Capt. Martin Stone is pretty much unkillable and I'm sure we'll see more of him ...

This is one of those films where the actual film-making is technically quite impressive, with some nice photography that looks like a high budget Hollywood production in what was a low budget film, but the lack of decent script and characters makes it quite difficult to watch. It's about a bunch of a soldiers who come across a bunker in which the dead are coming to life. With little suspense, awful dialogue and endless, confused action scenes with fast cutting and guns blazing and people shouting, it's a difficult one to get through. The zombie makeup is quite poor, and the zombies have a have a strange habit of posing for the camera in some very poor attempts at creating tension. There's a random love interest thrown in that is poorly written, and there are long tedious slow motion shots in amongst the endless fast cutting. At one point a zombie seems to fly.
It reminds me a lot of 'outpost', which has similar problems with a poor script!
The problem is there's no story, and it amounts to nothing more than a long action movie that feels very padded out. Whilst the film-makers have produced something that does look very good, it's a shame they didn't have a decent script to work with. Quite clearly some great talents, but not in the writing departments.
If you want to see frenetic zombie type of action movies, pick up Lambert Bava's Demons, which succeeds partly because it doesn't try to take itself so seriously!

This film is so truly bad that it knocks Plan 9 from Outer Space into a cocked hat. Unbelievable that someone actually spent money to produce this twaddle. Read more

DATE
The Review says "March 1942" the packaging says "1941". That would have been BEFORE Nazi Germany declared war on the USA. Nice to see the reseach!!!!!!!!

Better than a lot of zombie films out there by far.
It dosn't have that cheep homemade look of most zombie films and the gore is good enough.
