Soldiers of the Damned (2015)

Truly Dreadful Film

People are voting emotionally.

Gripping story with well-crafted characters

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Forget the complaints about British accents on German soldiers, forget the complaints about Indian tomahawks being wielded by a German with alleged native American blood (untermensch anyone?), forget the fact this is low budget.The movie is a dreary, disjointed load of garbage simply put. The acting is wooden and cliched and, whilst the actors are dressed appropriately for their roles, their actual way of wearing said uniforms or behaving around weapons is amateur at best. One gets the feeling that their 'military & technical advisor' was a pre-teen who had played CoD WW2 on campaign mode.Add to this, a high school drama club production team and cast and you have the perfect recipe for utter tripe.This hasn't got a cute twist, a solid performance by any cast member, an interesting storyline or anything else to hold the viewer's attention. Those suggesting there are little nuances to explain the plotline must either be working for the production studio or have a plentiful supply of hallucinogenic drugs.This is 'old school horror / sci fi'. The is immature, hackneyed dross.

I read other reviews on here before I decided to write mine. It was a mind-boggling experience that's for sure!This story (supposedly inspired by TRUE events) takes its viewers on a journey of desperation... I would say it is loosely based on the fact that Adolph Hitler and some of his minions were obsessed with the supernatural, always looking for that magic something to give them an edge in WWII. In this movie, a Major and his troupe are given orders to escort a doctor to certain coordinates in the middle of a rumored "haunted" forest. I will stop here.So much was wrong about this film: Nazi soldiers who ALL spoke with British accents. A script that made little to no sense. One Nazi soldier who carries a Native American Tomahawk. Soldiers who are always in their "silly running about, advancing behavior", yet they never go more than a foot. Night scenes that have visible daylight in the background. I believe those involved with this disaster knew how bad it was and felt compelled to throw in some violence just to hold the viewers attention.The only thing this movie had going for it was Gil Darnell. Boy, is he ever easy on the eyes. Too bad he cannot act his way out of a paper bag! Rated R for violence and language. No go for me on this one.

This movie is Horrendous. One could not write a spoiler for it because there is no substance to write about in the first place. Script is terrible, Acting is terrible and plot is terrible. What more is there to say. Nothing. I would suggest avoiding this movie like the plague. I am only adding this text after the word nothing because the review was too short.

I got suckered into watching this movie because I'm a huge fan of history, the DVD cover looked really cool and it had a promising name for a title. I was hoping it would be something like the movie "Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead" which is unquestionably a masterpiece compared to this.There are so many flaws in Soldiers of the Damned that thinking about the specifics hurts my brain.By the end of the movie for the first time ever I just froze staring at the entire credits daydreaming wondering how the hell someone could make such garbage. While staring blankly at the credits I noticed there were 3 assistant directors, this is probably where the movie really failed. I can't possibly imagine why there would need to be a total of 4 directors when basically the entire movie was about 5 people in the forest.There were only 2 decent actors in the entire movie and I REALLY felt sorry for them.I don't know how a few members of IMDb reviewed this movie with a 9 or above praising everything about it. All I can say is they were probably on drugs when they watched it or had something to do with the movie.I would rather go to work for an entire week without pay than watch this again.
