Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Michael Ledo A group of German relic hunters enter a haunted forest in Romanian on a top secret mission even as the Russians are advancing. The nature of the mission is revealed 38 minutes into the film, which was a bit silly, but I just went with it. The events that unfold are discussed as theology by the German soldiers. In this film the German soldiers have various English and Irish accents except for one German which spoke English with a German accent. Okay, its low budget, I understand, but what was with the one Russian speaking Russian?Now in order to appreciate the film you must realize that the main plot runs in full color while the other-life elements run in washed color. The regular Germans are "good guys" while the SS and Russian regulars are bad guys. The main downfall of the film was the deliberate confusing editing.Guide: F-bomb. Rape. No nudity
homerchrist First of all, this "based on actual events" gets thrown around a lot these days. Yes its true, WWII did happen. That's probably as far as I would accept the "true events" aspect is. It's a war movie with a supernatural theme running through it. The acting is not bad and it takes us back to the WWII movies of the 60's and 70's where the nazi's were always played by Brits. There is one ss Lt that has a German accent for some unknown reason, as everyone else in nazi gray has a British accents. It has some hard to follow parts, the spontaneous combustion and resurrection in some kind of time warp for example. Thats just one of the many flaws that you will come across in this movie. If you're looking for Oscar (tm) caliber performances or writing, look elsewhere. If you want a movie that doesn't take much thought and is a decent time killer, give this one a try. Don't expect much in the way of horror though. Its fun for what it is, a "B" movie that knows its a "B" movie.
dcarsonhagy I read other reviews on here before I decided to write mine. It was a mind-boggling experience that's for sure!This story (supposedly inspired by TRUE events) takes its viewers on a journey of desperation... I would say it is loosely based on the fact that Adolph Hitler and some of his minions were obsessed with the supernatural, always looking for that magic something to give them an edge in WWII. In this movie, a Major and his troupe are given orders to escort a doctor to certain coordinates in the middle of a rumored "haunted" forest. I will stop here.So much was wrong about this film: Nazi soldiers who ALL spoke with British accents. A script that made little to no sense. One Nazi soldier who carries a Native American Tomahawk. Soldiers who are always in their "silly running about, advancing behavior", yet they never go more than a foot. Night scenes that have visible daylight in the background. I believe those involved with this disaster knew how bad it was and felt compelled to throw in some violence just to hold the viewers attention.The only thing this movie had going for it was Gil Darnell. Boy, is he ever easy on the eyes. Too bad he cannot act his way out of a paper bag! Rated R for violence and language. No go for me on this one.
mr_hirst Watched this the other night and it's far better than most recent b movie nazi horrors that it might got pigeon-holed with such as Iron Sky. The director shows real promise and the effects stand up well for something that is low budget. I class The Keep as the top of the game when it comes to Nazi horror, and this is not like that at all, but again it is superior to the likes of Dead Snow and Iron Sky. If you like zombies, war, and good old fashioned b-movie horror then this is well above the average. I really enjoyed it and will definitely watch it again with some friends and a few beers one night.
