Critics Consensus

Ghosts of War blends supernatural horror and period war drama to produce a muddled mashup that proves some ingredients are better left separate.

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

...definitely a film that is tailor-made for watching at home, on a Friday night when your critical faculties have slightly failed you...

Bloody Disgusting

A by the numbers haunted house story with generic scares and standard black-eyed, long mouthed apparitions. Baffling tonal shifts exacerbate these moments of trope horror.

Rated: 1/5

FilmWeek (LAist)

It thinks it's imparting some profound lesson, but I walked away from it only 50 percent sure of what it was trying to say. The only satisfaction I felt at the end was "Thank God it's over."

The Digital Fix

Ghosts of War may not be great cinema or even a particularly good horror thriller, but it does offer plenty of entertainment value for the hungry horror fans with its cast and impressive production design.

Rated: 5/10

NME (New Musical Express)

When the inevitable twist does come, it's so lame it'll make most viewers roll their eyes for the remaining 20 minutes of the runtime...

Rated: 2/5

Ready Steady Cut

British supernatural horror taking place largely in France towards the end of World War II, alternately tense and quite a rush.

Rated: 3.5/5

Imagine your team is winning 1 x 0 in the first half. In the second half, they took the turn over, because your coach didn't know how to make the right changes, 2 x 1 is the final scoreboard. That's Virtushit (VERTULEK). First half virtuous, second half shittyous.

Part Horror movie part War movie with a splash of mystery and sci fi. Unfortunately the intrigue of the first half was better than the convoluted second half. Acting was quite good.

They want to know what it's like to get high without having to take a substance of dubious origin, you have found the perfect way this movie will blow your mind in a bad way how are you going to mix me upWorld War II with a future and adding another action plot in a horror movie or this goes well or it goes very very badly and they came up with a fucking script written with the most stoned legs than any stuff

You're in World War 2, you're trying to solve the clues to how this family were murdered, you're waiting for the soldiers to die one after another and then smack! You're in the future and there's computers and Afghanistan and it's all just a dream / simulation. What's bizarre is that money was clearly spent on the futuristic ending and it's just hard to see why. There are very few good war based ghost movies and I would have happily watched it all play out in the era and maybe have just one of the team survive. Great cast, great location, terrible story writing.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

Jeffrey P

The characters are noticeably cliche individuals to start. Once over that, they've settled into their haunted abode, and it just becomes like most generic haunted house tales. The final 20 minutes somewhat justifies the aforementioned faults, I see what they were going for, but it could have been better conveyed. If you watch a movie like Jacob's Ladder then you know it's possible for it to be better conveyed,

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Wolfgang G

Ghosts of War ist ein übernatürlicher Horrorfilm, der von Eric Bress geschrieben und inszeniert wurde. Ghosts of War vermischt übernatürlichen Horror mit historisches Kriegsdrama, mit einem wahnsinnig verworrenen Ende. Ich habe diesen Film wirklich genossen, auch wenn er nur überdurchschnittlich ist.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
