    I know this film is a few year old but has anyone seen it?

    From what I gather it is a horror film set during WWI, I just want to know if it;s any good.

    cheers

    I've seen it and I reckon it's quite good. There's a solid storyline in it, but it has a good blend of shocking horror and atmospheric build-up. One thing I would say is that it's similar to R-Point - I saw Deathwatch first, and was disappointed in R-Point as a result. (Not that R-Point isn't also good, I just struggled to see past the similarities). I know a good few other people on here have disagreed with this, so your mileage may vary.

    It's definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a decent horror flick, at any rate.

    It's watchable. I mean, its by no means a classic but its not absolutely terrible either.

    Yeah, its ok, as the others say, its watchable, one things for certain though, if nothing else it'll make you feel damn glad to be warm, dry and clean :p

    Those of you who didn't like it - what didn't you like about it?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,396 ✭✭✭✭kaimera


    It has been a while since I saw it but it bored me, there was nothing interesting or engaging about the movie. I can't watch it again to explain more.

    I can't remember anything from it.... that in itself says it all! instantly forgettable!

    Fair enough, sounds like a case of differing mileage. I do remember it taking a while to get going, but I thought the premise was good enough that the pay-off was worth waiting for. That being said, it's not a "must watch" film by any means.
