Every time I watch this, I love it more!

This is the fourth or fifth time I have watched this film and I can not tell you just how much I love this little gem. In my opinion, it is the perfect war horror film!

When I first saw the trail for this, I thought it was going to be "Nazi Zombies" film made in the universe of Black Ops. Instead, I got quite the indie gem!

The number one thing I can say is that I love how this is shot, and how everything looks. It's basically a live action Wolfenstein movie and that's insane. I love how many one-shots are in this and how many there are. There's perfect build up, and the mystery in this is interesting. The characters have a lot more depth then you would think based on a first watch and I get chills from from the performance of Wyatt Russell every time! Mathilde Ollivier is great in this too and I am sad she was not able to get more popular works.

Oh, also, I have ran some Call of Cthulhu games based on this movie and they were all kick-ass! This film lends it self to a really good one shot game, and is intricate but simple enough to basically make several different types of games.

Anyways, this is a fantastic film and I recommend it to anyone curious what a War Horror film looks like. What a great film to mark my 100th film watched this year!
Mini Review: I love this film
