Written and directed by Jeff Burr, this macabre World War II drama chronicles the surreal journey of two disparate Allied soldiers. On their way to being court marshaled, Americans Losey (Ryan Francis) and Deming (Scott MacDonald) survive a land-mine explosion and flee into the wasteland of war-ravaged Europe. When they encounter a collection of combat-trained, disabled orphans, the fugitives and the youngsters become reluctant comrades.

R, 1 hr. 34 min.

While it's clear that this movie is trying to making a general anti-war statement, the story elements don't add up to a big picture about anything in particular.

Reminiscient of Keith Gordon's fantastic A Midnight Clear mixed with a healthy dose of Rod Serlingism, Straight Into Darkness is a dark and stark little tale.
