Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

I prefer zombie movies where the zombies are walkers & HATE the movies where they're runners.I was hoping the zombies in War Of The Dead were going to be walkers but I guess I should've known.I know I probably would've been more into the movie if they were.Hopefully someday, somebody will make a zombie war movie where the zombies are walkers.If it's been done recently I know nothing about it.Surprisingly though, it worked in War Of The Dead.I couldn't imagine the zombies being any other way.War Of The Dead was a non stop action/horror flick.Something was always happening here & there & the zombies being like they were, just added to it.I was into it right from the start till the very end.Still it's not something I'd ever watch again or want to add to my movie collection but if somebody was thinking about watching it I wouldn't tell them not to.If they were thinking about buying it, I'd tell them not to unless they got it super cheap or at least watched it 1st

I read the reviews after I'd picked this up and held little hope for it, Apart from the Dead Snow films I find Nazi Zombie flicks usually leave a lot to be desired (Still get suckered in by them tho').There have been lots of 'Not historically Accurate' on here...But it's a Zombie film....erm...Last time I checked Zombies are fictional...It held my attention (not always easy) and on as a pure 'Popcorn' film It's rather fun. If you want an hour and a half of undemanding entertainment it's worth a shot.The audio (Dialogue) was low...I put subtitles on to make sure I didn't miss anything (Not that the Dialogue told you anything!) The film looks great colour wise too.

You know, it's almost no surprise that I come here after writing a review about the recent 'THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN', and that piece of $hit gets like a 5.8 rating, and this film which I felt was LIGHT YEARS more entertaining and technically much better made and the acting was EXPONENTIALLY better, and it has a frigg'n rating of 4.1. WTF...???I honestly found this movie to be very atmospheric, beautiful to look at, and for a low-budget Horror film, surprisingly well put together and directed. I was even more impressed by the acting, which although not Oscar material, I think for a film like this the director REALLY was quite adept at bringing out the very best from his actors.Sure, true Zombie lovers and aficionados would most likely find this movie VERY lame, slow, and uneventful, with VERY little gore or 'Zombie-like' visuals. This is definitely ***NOT*** your usual Zombie-Gore fest. BUT... not really being a real Zombie fan myself, I found the mood, look, and technical aspects of the film to be quite good and entertaining. I REALLY liked the Mystery aspect of it, like when it showed you glimpses of these odd-looking, mechanical amulets, which made you wonder what they were for and what they had to do with the story. And, I really dug the place they find, with it's cool retro-automated mechanical effects. And, there IS a lot of War Action that I thought was done pretty well.All and all a VERY simple story with not a hell of a lot to it, but I genuinely feel that it was really well done and most entertaining. A LOT more than what all these dismissive Dickweed Numbnuts here are saying ...

A platoon of British, American and Finnish soldiers come head to head with unstoppable zombie-like soldiers. Aided by a Russian grunt they must fight for survival.Despite some over used slow-motion and unfitting sound effects War of the Dead director Marko Mäkilaakso delivers a wonderfully atmospheric World War II action 'zombie' film.The film has pace, moving from one location to the next through bunkers, trenches, air shafts, forests and there's plenty of gun-play and fights. The effects are modest and well executed and the sets are perfectly dressed, the location shoot gives it an edge. Writers Mäkilaakso and Barr B. Potter include some zombie hallmarks an empty house under siege, a graveyard, shots to the head but the antagonists share more with 28 Day/Weeks Later's infected and Outpost's theme. War of the Dead expands the Nazi super soldiers angel further including some fast moving, stealthy, post experimental and 'infected' soldiers.Reminiscent of The Bunker, Death Watch, Dog Soldiers and the aforementioned to name a few this latest addition includes some great worn looking actors including Antti Reini, the reliable and talented Andrew Tiernan (who also starred in the The Bunker) as Capitan Martin Stone. UK viewers may recognise ITV's Bill - Mark Wingett. Supporting leads Samuel Vauramo as the emotional Kolya and Mikko Leppilampi as Lieutenant Laakso are effective enough. Notable is the only female Magdalena Górska and Jouko Ahola who is perfectly cast as the super soldier Captain Niemi.It lacks that slow foreboding feel synonymous with zombie films in a bid to be original. In addition, the mix of genres doesn't work as well for this WW2 predominately action, chiller as it should due to the thin script. Nevertheless, it's a solid piece of entertainment packed with action and an obligatory nihilistic ending with a twist.
