Paul Chambers Movie Chambers Plenty of bullets are fired. But, "War of the Dead" is really lacking the gore necessary for even an average zombie flick. Rated: D Jan 11, 2013 Full Review Robin Clifford Reeling Reviews ...the filmmakers try to tie the loose ends but do not always succeed, making the film feel hurried getting to its conclusion. Rated: C Jan 3, 2013 Full Review Laura Clifford Reeling Reviews This is a zombie film with little to no gore. It's an in and out mission with no suspense or scares. "War of the Dead" is simply an exercise in filmmaking. Rated: C- Dec 24, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member War of the Dead doesn't waste a moment before getting into the action, this is not always a good thing, but here it kind of makes sense. This is not great. There are great Nazi zombie movies out there, I can think of about five off the top of my head, and War of the Dead isn't one of them, but it was so much better than I was prepared for it to be, and the vast gap between my low expectations and the okay-ish reality led me to have a decent time sitting at my desk with this on in the background. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Some parts of the movie was a little "ehh" because of the way something happened but overall its good and on a scale of 1 to 10 i'd give this a 6 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member I prefer zombie movies where the zombies are walkers & HATE the movies where they're runners.I was hoping the zombies in War Of The Dead were going to be walkers but I guess I should've known.I know I probably would've been way more into the movie if they were.Hopefully someday, somebody will make a zombie war movie where they are.If it's been done recently I know nothing about it.Surprisingly though, it worked in War Of The Dead.I couldn't imagine the zombies being any other way.War Of The Dead was a non stop action/horror flick.Something was always happening here & there & the zombies being like they were, just added to it.I was into it right from the start till the very end.Still it's not something I'd ever watch again or want to add to my movie collection but if somebody was thinking about watching it I wouldn't tell them not to.If they were thinking about buying it, I'd tell them not to unless they got it super cheap or at least watched it 1st Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Boring and plodding. War of the Dead has a neat concept and is full of ideas that sadly, go nowhere. For a zombie movie, it is surprisingly lacking in gore and actual tension that a zombie movie should bring. Acting is ok, but nothing remarkable. Most of the movie is too dark to see effectively what is going on. And guns never run out of ammo. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member An all out Nazi bloodbath, throw in the fact that there zombies and it's one of the best films EVER!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Standard horror fare Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
