Captain Martin Stone is leading a finely-trained, elite platoon of Allied soldiers as they attack an enemy bunker. Underestimating their enemy's strength, they are quickly beaten back into the forest. As they try to regroup, they are suddenly attacked by the same soldiers they had just killed a few minutes earlier. Forced to flee deeper into Russian territory, they discover one of war's most terrifying secrets and realize they have woken up a far more deadlier enemy.
War of the Dead doesn't waste a moment before getting into the action, this is not always a good thing, but here it kind of makes sense. This is not great. There are great Nazi zombie movies out there, I can think of about five off the top of my head, and War of the Dead isn't one of them, but it was so much better than I was prepared for it to be, and the vast gap between my low expectations and the okay-ish reality led me to have a decent time sitting at my desk with this on in the background.
Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
