Mediocre "Supernatural World War II"

The fusion of genres in the film field, war + thriller, "spiritual World War II", is quite gimmicky. But it's basically still in the framework of ghost movies, nothing new. In the middle part, the main scene of fighting with the Germans while being haunted is not well integrated, that is, "ghost murder" and "human murder" are recklessly combined. There is no innovation in the form of expression, and it is relatively mediocre.

A few reversals make it even more blunt. The setting of "buy it back to life", alas, you are the screenwriter anyway, and you have the final say. In the end, when I returned to the laboratory, I thought it was not supernatural, but it turned out to be supernatural, and I smoked salted fish back and forth. In the end, I have to suddenly engage in amnestics and add a "loop" element...

However, even if it is an old-fashioned ghost movie plot, I will definitely be scared by jump scary and scream, and I don't know if it's good or bad haha!

It's probably about a few soldiers who went to garrison an old castle, which was haunted by ghosts (a family killed by the Nazis), but these ghosts also helped them wipe out a bunch of German troops. They wanted to leave the house, but the ghost hit the wall, so they had to find the body and bury it. As a result, burying the corpses brought these ghosts back to life. When the two sides started fighting, the protagonist suddenly returned to reality! They were receiving psychiatric treatment in a laboratory, but doctors didn't know there was a haunting. It turns out that this group of soldiers was cursed by the hostess after they were desperate to help the informant's family during the Afghan war. The protagonist wants to return to the fantasy to prevent the tragedy from happening, but as long as he goes back, the memory will be erased and everything will start again.

Ghosts of War quotes

  • Title Card: This war will not end. With every mile my body and spirit break. Every jolt makes brittle my mind. Each step pulls me further from home until I am the shell of the man that kissed my mother goodbye a forever ago.

    Title Card: And I tense endlessly. Not knowing which will arrive first, the bullet that takes my life or my final chance for redemption. -D. Werner, 18 years old, WWII Private 1st Class
