Too much of everything

People are voting emotionally.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Having watched a lot of these types of movies, I will say that caught on the clues and the movie still managed to surprise me I must say! I expected a low quality movie cheap effects and two line story. But no! It was outright frustrating and crap all together. Its quite an effort to churn out such surprisingly dull and boring stuff. Hats off to the makers.

When one reads about a movie in the same breath as "Dog Soldiers", one has a certain expectation. When reviews abound that this movie is 'better than anticipated'. 'well acted' and 'realistic military action', similar expectations arise.The reality is somewhat different. A very rag-tag group of mercenaries travel through an unidentified Eastern European country to find an abandoned bunker housing a secret Nazi wonder machine.Numerous issues start the ball rolling with our intrepid crew as half of them are armed with H&K G36 carbines (rather nice, modern weapons, albeit without any of the accessories that are haute de guerre these days), whilst the others tote variations on the AK-47 platform. So first up, you have half the squad unable to use the other half's ammunition, quite a basic military no-no from an alleged group of experienced ex-soldiers. Whilst each man has a uniform befitting his background, we're told it's the 'present day', so why is everyone wearing seriously old kit? The Brits wearing 80s DPMs, the lone 'American' Woodland cammies, the Belgian an old 'jigsaw' pattern uniform whilst the French Legionairre wears 1990 circa CE pattern camouflage (this individual is apparently the team medic, but is a rather portly specimen indeed). The 'Russian' wears a rather plain uniform under a heavy coat which is difficult to identify easily. The last 'soldier' is dressed in civilian clothes with some military load bearing kit, rather reminiscent of the separatist groups in the former Yugoslavia, so I guess he's the resident 'Eastern European'.Their fieldcraft swings from attempts at 'professional' from the Commando in charge of the group to rather laughable from the Russian who has a habit of swinging his weapon wildly about whilst standing completely upright.Upon entering the bunker, most have mechanic's work lights complete with corded power supply as their light source. Really?After the initial entry, the 'science' is attempted to be shown off after which the usual zombie dross starts up with them dying unusual and creative deaths along with the clichéd tensions between the crew.I couldn't bring myself to the end of the movie to be brutally honest, so I can't comment on that moment, but beyond that, this is a B-grade, straight to DVD 'experience' that would be better served as a video game than a movie.PS. I skipped through to the end, everyone dies, the 'second team' turns up & it's rinse & repeat. What an absolute joke.

I really like this i sat down and watched it and i wasn't expecting much but i was pleasantly surprised and went past my expectations. Normally when some1 thinks about the genre of horror its just the bad guy that goes around and kills the helpless teens and generically out of about 15 people 1-3 survive and that's about as much as ur going to get from those movies, how ever this was different there was a lot of tension build up which worked really well. I read on other post that people complained about them not being 'zombies' "cause they did not eat people" and clearly this person is an ignoramus and obviously doesn't know what a zombie is here is a definition for wiki to save any1 who doesn't actually know sum times. "Zombie is a term used to denote an animated corpse.." This is exactly what the zombies were here crossed with ghouls and specters which is a nice difference. The fact that no1 survived is an interesting twist. There were a few plot holes mainly centered around the machine but as long as you by into the concept of the machine you should enjoy the movie. I will also point out those people that hammer the characters as "wooden" may i remind every1 this is a low budget horror film and yes MOST of the characters were unlikeable yes but they are all mercenaries after all. However the main character DC was hard to lose and i did end up getting attached to him and 1 other guy, all in all great movie and i can't wait to see Black Sun!

I have seen this movie countless times now and still find it brilliant. The acting makes for a worth while movie and I think the budget may not have been big but was well spent and added feeling to all the right parts. As for the plot, I have studied physics and can say that even for someone who knows about physics the plot was quite easy to understand and explained everything perfectly from their "abilities" to the way they go about their objectives (for those commenting about how they change from super strong to super weak, there are one of two likely options. 1 they started using scare tactics then went for an all out assault (much like in war) and 2 is as they materialised more and more from the fields the less power they had and therefore the greater the distance to the machine they required to appearI am awaiting the second movie in keen anticipation and hope that it matches with the high standards of this movie!
