This movie started out having a score of 5.9 and went down all the way to 4 sadly. Believe it or not, I did like it. The set up and the atmosphere are great. Acting is OK. And the movie has some good action scenes to keep the audience interested. And it's one of those ''Nazi zombie'' or ''War horror'' movies that I really love. But the downfall of this movie is it's story. I think this movie would have been much better if it had bigger work put into the story. Explain more about the experiments, show some flashbacks, etc. the one thing I didn't like was that the movie is VERY fast phased.

You can see that movie does not leave out character development, but it's just not enough. Needs more character development and more dialogue and more suspense.

the movie is not bad especially if you're a fan of the genre. 6/10

1941, World War II. A platoon of American and Finnish soldiers led by the two-fisted Captain Martin Stone (a fine and credible performance by Andrew Tiernan) run afoul of a squadron of seemingly unstoppable German SS soldiers who turn out to be zombies.

Writer/director Marko Makilaakso keeps the enjoyable and engrossing story hurtling along at a constant quick pace, makes nice use of the desolate locations, maintains a tough gritty tone throughout, and stages the plentiful and exciting zombie attack scenes and action sequences with rip-roaring go-for-broke brio. The sound acting by the capable cast keeps this movie humming: Jouko Ahola as the hard-nosed Captain Niemi, Samuel Vauramo as helpful local Kolya, Mikko Leppilamp as the no-nonsense Lt. Laakso, and Magdalena Gorska as the frightened Dasha. Kudos are also in order for Hannu-Pekka Vitikainen's sharp widescreen cinematography and the moody score by Neal Acree and Joel Goldsmith. But the key reason this film works like gangbusters is because it rarely lets up for a minute; it's pretty damn relentless and hence packs one hell of a ferocious punch.

In 1941, before the US entry into the war, a small group of US elites, including one Abraham Lincoln Brigade member to make it realistic, join up with some Finnish soldiers to travel 30 km. into Russia along the border in order to destroy a bunker. This bunker was used by the Germans to experiment on Russian soldiers. Our group does not know the details as they encounter killer zombies.

These are not your ordinary zombies. When we first see them they leap 10-20 ft out of trees to attack. I thought I was watching "Planet of the Apes" for a moment. They seem to have superhuman strength and stamina, although the film was not consistent in their portrayal of zombie abilities. Other times they get beat up in a fight like an ordinary human.

This is a fusion war and zombie movie that doesn't work like its counterparts. The ones that worked well were zombie movies with a war background. This one is more of a war movie that has zombie soldiers, not too unlike regular soldiers. Shot almost entirely at night.
