A great little indie horror film, that attempts to mix the styles of World War II Combat flick and some horror elements, namely in the inclusion of Werewolfs. It's World War II and Nazi scientists have found a way create soldiers with superhuman strength and who are impervious too bullets. Now it is up to one platoon
to go deep behind enemy lines, find this lab, and find out what the fuck is going on out there. The film does a really good job of balancing the two styles, and there is just enough horror in there to keep it from being a normal WWII film, but the movie also never loses sight of it's setting and period. The performances are pretty well done all around, and while not the goriest film Ive ever seen, the action sequences are quite good. While at times this did remind me of Dog Soldiers, but with a fraction of the budget, this movie did have enough creativity to really make it stand out, in the all too often cookie cutter genre that is horror. Recommended.
