3/5
Just when you're settled into thinking you're watching another survival horror, there's a massive and quite bold change in direction and all bets are off. Go to Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard 04/28/2011
2/5
It is short, sharp and competently made but only narrowly avoids falling into the torture porn genre. Go to Full Review Anton Bitel Little White Lies 12/01/2010
presents one of the creepiest, most grotesque-looking antagonists seen since Max Schreck embodied Count Orlock in Nosferatu (1922). And if that does not whet the appetite, there is a scene of gratuitous toad-licking too... Go to Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore 05/01/2019
4/5
A PTSD allegory concerned with exactly how torturous war becomes emotionally on those affected by it, as well as those who've participated in it. Go to Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times 04/28/2011
3/5
Zampaglione admirably maintains the mood of menace and makes his point about humanity's potential for evil without undue preachiness. Go to Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 04/28/2011
3.5/5
It cleverly weaves together nasty nightmares from both the Iraq occupation and World War II while constantly grossing us out. Although we never get very deeply involved. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Alain M 08/24/2023 it is dubbed, think from Italian, and story is bland at best, and very very predictable cheap low budget horror movie See more @Timofdragons 10/23/2019 Sure switches gears halfway through. It wasn't a smart or great horror, and there were plenty of tropes and cliches, but it wasn't bad. Plus it was short. It wasn't too flashy, simple is better in this case, so that was good. And I'm sure this was pretty low budget, which is also good considering. Cool ending. A bit nonsense if you think about it though. Also annoying soundtrack. See more 08/08/2016 It was decent until it went down the torture porn route. The sadist in it was a cross between Pluto from The Hills Have Eyes,Nosferatu and Buffalo Bill. The ending is a major cop out and is like something from a bad American soap. Nice touch with G.W Bush on the wall of Dictators. See more 08/20/2015 Kept me hanging on the screen .....fine to follow , Pleasently horror SOMDVD See more 02/10/2015 It's creepy, but the twist totally ruins it. Gorgeous setting in Italy near the borders with Austria and Slovenia. Saw it because of Testa (Frontiers). See more 10/23/2013 I really liked this film. Just when you think you have it figured out it completely pulls the rug from under your feet and changes direction. See more Read all reviews
