This is a neat little package of three independent short films (about 30 min each) by different directors using WWII as the setting. The first, "Medal of Horror" is a nice, compact action-adventure film with zombies thrown in for good measure which thrust this entertaining, well produced war film into the 'horror film' genre. The second, "Harriets War" is a nifty ghost-hunter type story with clever gadgets and a horrific twist. The third, the suspenseful "Devils of the Blitz", serves up the demonic horrors of war, both in the field and on the home front. The production values of the three films are quite good for a low budget production package, and the cast of mostly 'unknowns' provide many entertaining moments. Paul Kelleher in "Medal of Horror" gives an impressive performance as a wheelchair bound Army Major who is disabled, disillusioned, defeated, desperate, demented and drunk,
all in one scene. The protagonist in that film, a bewildered but cautiously daring young lieutenant, is enjoyably played by David Wayman. The talented Laura Lemon is delightful as the title character in "Harriet's War" as she pursues the unknown with the assistance of the intrepid PC Jones, played by Cy Henty with wonderful aplomb. The "Devils of the Blitz" ensemble cast, headed by the engaging Jess-Luisa Flynn, are all affective in their roles as they cope with the unfolding horror. The three directors, James Eaves, Alan Roland and Pat Higgins, respectively, can be justifiably proud of their individual clever productions. Considering the production and entertainment values of this noteworthy 'low-budget horror film anthology', I give it a solid 7 out of 10 within that genre. It'll probably be a cult film one day.
