A claustrophobic, psychological horror film, which recreates the tension of 'Aliens' in a war film successfully, without it becoming a gorefest. As in 'Alien 3', it's hard to feel sorry for most of the victims as they're from the Nazis' Grossdeutschland division, notorious for its involvement in several war crimes during WW 2. That'a also a piece of artistic licence, as that division fought on the Eastern Front from June 1941 onwards, and this film's set in the border country of Belgium and Germany in 1944. The film's in English, so there are no subtitles to worry about, which makes it suitable for 'late night fright' viewing. In short, it's not perfect but there are some good performances, cinematography and plot twists to make it thrilling, as the tension builds to a crescendo at the end. I'll give it 4/5.Read full review

If done well, like this one is, mixing war and horror can be a very good combination.

Although set nearing the end of WWII, this budget film engages our subconscious: not a war film, nor a horror - simply a means to access the minds and actions of a group of soldiers, trapped in a defensive structure, already known for previous unnerving events, but who unwittingly bring with them their own nightmares.
