The plot: American and Finnish troops run up against Nazi zombies during World War II.
This was not an absolutely terrible movie, but it was still pretty annoyingly bad. The characters were basically interchangeable, and it was even worse during the action sequences, because they were shot so poorly that I couldn't even tell who was fighting whom. Unfortunately, the movie feels like a meth addict did all the camera work and editing. The plot and dialogue are about as bad as you're expecting, but the SFX are far more disappointing. Nobody really expects good plot or dialogue from their direct-to-video, low budget zombie movies -- especially when they're rated this low -- but they do tend to expect a certain minimum level of gore. However, thanks to the horrible camera work and editing, you can't really see much of the SFX or make-up anyway. There just wasn't enough story to stretch this out to feature length, necessitating lots of terrible action scenes. This really should have been edited down to the best few scenes, with a little bit of setup, and uploaded to YouTube.
Recommended only to people who like mindless action movies.

I watched the UK premier of this title at Fright fest Scotland.
It's your basic mystery story at the start. Bad things are happening behind enemy lines. What is the cause, well with a title like War of the Dead it is easy to say its Zombies.
What I liked about this movie was that it told the same old story of dodgy dealings behind enemy lines. It does it pretty good.
The effects whilst good are below par. The movie itself looks like its a low to medium budget movie.
This is not top of the class but it is good fun for what it is.Its better than zombies of war and Armageddon of the dead.

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

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.

This is a combination war story and horror film that could have been better than it was. The suspenseful and creepy atmosphere is there along with plenty of action to keep you from losing your attention. The acting was fair and perhaps it could have been better.
The story however doesn't explain or go into much detail about the secret sinister experiments that were conducted in the bunker. This I feel should have been elaborated more which would have improved the story quite a bit making it far more interesting than it was.
This is one movie that at first seems to be promising but later on lets you down with disappointment. One can only feel afterwards that this movie could have been better than it was. It had all the potential to be a 1st rate horror film.

- GoofsIn World War II Finland only collaborated with Germany in 1941 after Finland had already been attacked by the Soviet Union in 1939. Finland only retook the land ceded at the end of the Winter War. US citizens did assist Finland in the Winter War against Soviet Union (as ambulance drivers) and UK and USA both supported Finland at this time.
