Résumés(1)
The year is 1941 and an American elite force have teamed up with Finnish soldiers to destroy a secret Russian bunker. Organising a raid before dawn, the soldiers set up camp for the night but walk straight into Russian gunfire. Half of their unit are wiped out but it isn’t long before they hear the sound of gunshot again, however this time the Russian’s seem to be firing against someone other than them. Only when a dead soldier of their own rises up from the dead do they realise they have a new enemy on their radar and they must escape the zombie hordes and complete the mission before it’s too late!

I probably would have liked War of the Dead more if it was a book because the movie adaptation is not very good. Even though the co-production War of the Dead takes place in the woods, and an oppressive atmosphere is created by the feeling the enemy could appear from anywhere, it still lacks suspense, not to mention horror. It is a great shame because the setting, the period, and the storyline would have really worked if the visuals were not so bad.

A Lithuanian action zombie horror that looks very nice… and that’s all there is to it. The plot never escalates, it goes into shooting mode from the very first minute and, save for some short breaks, stays there until the end. The most apt word I can think to describe it is “numbing”.
