A general rule of thumb when it comes to movies is: if it involves Nazi's, don't watch it. From the crappy Nazisploitation genre that was unjustly popular in the seventies to 'Nazi zombie' movies like Shock Waves and Zombie Lake, there's rarely anything good that involves Nazi's - and "Horrors of War" not only does nothing to buck that trend, but is actually worse than most of the other Nazi crap that I've seen. The film features a World War 2 setting and focuses on the popular myth about Hitler having an interest in the supernatural and trying to incorporate it into his army. Basically, we end up with a bunch of soldiers 'researching' Hitler's new weapons. The main problem with this film is that it's boring. All the characters are basically the same (and all portrayed in the same, downbeat, way) and therefore are impossible to care about. The plot formula features the soldiers sitting around talking to each other, walking around, and every now and then happening upon a zombie soldier which they kill, and then sit around and talk about it. The film was obviously shot on a very low budget as it all looks very cheaply done. This also extends to the zombie make-up too, which is rubbish. I am surprised that I actually sat down for ninety minutes watching this piffle. Naturally, I don't recommend that anyone else does so.
