Seems interesting enough.

[goesaround]

Looks great! I love WWII anything (Love to hate Nazis) and Zombies. The zombie didn't look to dead but still..Looks good

[hardcoreone2]

Nice find Vision! I'm gonna have to keep track of this one.

[Zombie Mark]

Definitely want to check this one out!

There really needs to be a decent zombie film with a WWII background - I loved reading Weird War Tales when I was a kid, and the WWII zombie scene in the Heavy Metal movie was great!

[blooddak]

hm looks diffrent from most zombie films but in a good way looks cool :clap:

[Zombie Survivor]

Zombies AND Werewolfs together in a war story... what's not to like.

[FoleyZombie]

Wolfenstein YESSSSS!

[sonnyboo]

Hey! This is a movie I co-wrote, co-directed, and produced!


Thanks, guys. I really appreciate the comments. :scare:

That heavy metal scene with the plane scared the hell out of me and I don't know why!

Horrors Of War could be really awsome, I looked at the making of's and it looks like a nice ride. Zombies and Nazis can you get any better?!!

[blooddak]

i like it how the zombies have black Eyes thats cool but in the clip i saw the zombie got shot in the head twice and bout 3 times in the chest but didnt go down these zombies sertnly are cool :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

[sonnyboo]

Some take more than a few bullets to go down....

MAKING SCENE 6

http://www.horrorsofwarmovie.com/scene6.php

3 min, 5 meg - Windows Media

This is the first of a series of WEB DOCUMENTARIES on the making of "Horrors of War", a WWII sci fi/horror/action film, co-directed by John Whitney, and produced by Philip R. Garrett and Sean Reid.

SCENE 6 was a something that went from a 1 line description to 2 pages with dialogue, shot during post production and I thought people might dig seeing how this process worked with our visual FX work by Don Drennan.

I hope you like it. The ZOMBIE MAKE UP FX doc will kick ass when I get it online...

[Dr. Freudstein]

Ah, zombies & werewolves, all it needs now is Paul Naschy and I'd be in horror heaven...

Watched the trailer and thought the film looks really good; someone needs to pick up the game rights; Band of Brothers meets Return to Castle Wolfenstein - I can see it now.

Keep us posted; though I suppose we'll be waiting a while for a release here in the UK...

[Morto-Vivo]

HAAA, my dream has come true :D
WWII & Zombies... Yummy

-- EDIT --
Wth? Werewolfs? That sucks :x

[corgi37]

Dont knock the werewolves. Their actions at Normandy are legendary!

[sonnyboo]

? That sucks :x

Werewolves VERSUS Zombies? That does not sucketh, I say!

[Dearth]

Dont knock the werewolves. Their actions at Normandy are legendary!

That's true, my Granddad was one - he was awarded the Golden Snausage and a Purple Flea.

:)

That aside - I'd be interested in the movie, but being here in the U.K. will it ever reach?

We miss out on some really cool movies over here - maybe I'll have to move to the U.S.

I believe we will make it to the UK in 2006... late in the year, but yes.

This looks interesting.. Thanks for the link!

John Whitney tells the story on what his first day directing on Horrors of War was like. Managing a tank, a jeep, extras, costumed actors and two pages of dialogue in a single shot.


This is a series of WEB DOCS on the making of Horrors of War, a WWII action-horror-sci fi story coming soon. These documentaries are DVD-style tidbits showing the behind the scenes workings of a low budget indie film.

JoeBlo.com just did a write up on the movie.
http://www.joblo.com/arrow/index.php?id=2770

=========
"Think SAVING PRIVATE RYAN meets RE-ANIMATOR meets DOG SOLDIERS, i.e.- a buttload of fun and good times! How cool is that? And after checking out the trailer, I'm sold- this one is gonna blow the other DVD completely away!

Not only that, but zombies & werewolfs & Nazis all wrapped up into one movie? Almost as cool as THIS on screen collaboration!"

=========

Now THAT kicks ass. I can't wait to get this movie out there to be seen...

[Kemper]

It has a Day of the dead: Contagium feel IMO.

[Patrick]

This looks really good!

OMG!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!


:lol:

[Kemper]

I'm seriously...It's dressed up really nicely, but some of the shots look generic and i can sense some real stereotypical characters as well. I'm excited but not overly.

PS. I liked Contagium.

Hope you dig on this. It's been a long time coming...

[nyteKrawlerr]

i'll definately buy this one, 2 of my most favoritest monsters united! werewolves (my first true luv) and zombies!!

although i do have to agree with an earlier post, some of shots look abit generic and some of the acting seems abit off, but overall i think this movie will be enjoyable never the less.

is it coming out on DVD or is it going to try to make its way into theaters?

~nyte

[Slumlord]

Trailer looked cool, but what was with the zombies? The face only looked decayed down to the neck and thats it. Made it look like they were wearing a rubber mask.

I'd still like to see it though.

[lavel]

When is this movie suppose to come out...it kind of seems interesting. :lol:

[Kemper]

I'd like to change what i said a bit. I think this will be better than Contagium and is to be commended for its scope. I see some things i'd do different, but i'm not doing it and they are. I think this will end up in my collection...they part that i look at more than once. Congrats and good luck.

[hardcoreone2]

When is this movie suppose to come out...it kind of seems interesting. :lol:

Sometime 2006.

[Jim of the Dead]

You could really open up a nice new layer of metaphor with zombies in a war setting. I've thought MANY times before how it just seems like a logical jump in zombie fiction to have them used as bio-weapons.

[RottingSlowly]

Dammit i had a good story set up for WWII nazis in germany.i'll have to see this to see if the story is close to mine.

[Arson Zombie]

Looks good, can't wait to see it.

[shibbygiddy]

This looks like it has some potential, looking forward to it.

[James]

This looks really promising. I like the idea of zombies in the midst of WWII.
Watching the trailer (http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2354099?htv=12) I was reminded, not in a completely negative way, of some of the old Full Moon films: interesting premise, but with questionable execution. The rather slack pacing of the trailer was also reminiscent of those Full Moon Pictures efforts.

However the film turns out in terms of quality, it at least has the benefit of trying, which is something not a lot of exploitation features do.

[Divided Soul]

Man I hope it's not like Zombie Pool(I mean Lake) and Shock Waves......

[lavel]

Sometime 2006.

Thanks.:clap:

[M_Sinistrari]

It looks interesting, though I still wait for Worst Case Scenario.

[The Blind Dead]

Here's a review one of the reviewers at Joe Horror did of Horrors of War...

Oh man when I heard about this movie I knew that I had to see it. It is one of those rare occasions that no matter how bad the film is you know that it are going to be the coolest shit you have ever seen just because. I wasnt expecting Dog Solders, but I still knew this was going to be cool. For once I wasnt wrong, thank God.

Schmidt has a problem, it seems like he cant keep his men alive. As he storms the beaches of Normandy at the height of World War II, he looses a grip of his men. As the remainder of his squad makes its way to base they run into one freaky looking Nazi...[READ MORE HERE] (http://www.joehorror.com/0000180.html)

[tarman]

shockwaves was actually really cool...def the best nazi zombie movie i've seen so far. awesome soundtrack...creepy direction, cool looking zombies.

zombie lake on the other hand...ugh...i won't even bother.

from the trailer it looks like they really tried with horrors of war, but i can already tell the kind of quality this movie is going to be. i'll give them an A in effort so far. hopefully i'll be pleasantly surprised when i watch it.

i still think shockwaves will reign as the best nazi/war/zombie movie...until worse case scenario comes out!

[Gnash]

I think this thread was repeated somewhere else. Anyway it looks like a great WWII zombie flick.

[Aerandir]

So are you guys giong to get this thing on DVD, or is it going to be strictly an internet flick after the screening?

[The Blind Dead]

I'm fairly certain it'll be hitting DVD.

[raym]

DVD?

Groovy.

Need more for the old, zombie DVD collection.

^_^

[Runn 4 WV Hillz]

wow a movie about soldiers that arent real zombies,,but dope zombies, Hitler invented methadone to rival the americans morphine ,,, these zombies arent dead they are just walking around with limbs blown off not feelin a damn thing because of a good dope buzz!!!:evil: :evil:

kinda like the Iraqs using drugs when the marines did that assault on Falujia (sorry spelling) awhile back.

and I relive the dissapointment of 28 Days Later yet again. I guess I should actually read about "zombie" movies to make sure they are actually zombie movies before I assume the are...or something...sigh

It should be against the law to call a movie a zombie movie when there's no zombies in it. :evil:

[blacknirvana]

well in the origional definition i guess zombies are actually people that has been doped up (by vodoo guys)

[Aerandir]

zom·bie also zom·bi ( P ) Pronunciation Key (zmb)
n. pl. zom·bies, also zom·bis
A snake god of voodoo cults in West Africa, Haiti, and the southern United States.

A supernatural power or spell that according to voodoo belief can enter into and reanimate a corpse.
A corpse revived in this way.
One who looks or behaves like an automaton.
A tall mixed drink made of various rums, liqueur, and fruit juice.

(I've got the name 'Captain Dictionary' on another forum)

They way I see it, if someone has not died, they can not be a zombie. Yes, the idea of a bunch of shredded soldiers walking around doped up is appealing, but should not be labeled as a zombie flick.

[Gnash]

Ok then by definition those living dead flesh eaters we've all been enjoying for decades are really ghouls and even then only partially. Ghouls are the living dead that feed on corpses. Can you imagine how long it would take if all the books and movies and websites would need to change every mention of "zombie" to "ghoul"? The fact is they should be called Rombies because GAR was the first to evolve the zombies and ghouls to eating the flesh of the living. :evil:

[Bad Zombie Night]

OK.. OK... OK.
In the past we've had several threads debating the word "Zombie" concerning its meaning, and origins. (I know because I was heavily involved in those debates.)

This is the only thread I could find so far.

History Of The Word Zombie (http://www.allthingszombie.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8592)


You're free to start a new thread on the subject in the Zombie Talk (http://www.allthingszombie.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=15) forum.

Gnash, I couldn't agree with you more... Matter of fact, I used the same arguments in discussions on the subject.

Now can anyone tell me what int he hell they renamed the movie? I can't find a decent translation. I think it's "Hitler's Nazi Death Monkey DIE DIE DIE".

Oh yes, I like that artwork:)

[The Blind Dead]

Man that is the shit. I'm definitely feeling the overseas artwork.

[Runn 4 WV Hillz]

that art looks sweet ,,, now if the movie only matches,,or better yet out does the art!!!!!!!!!!!:evil: :evil:

[The Blind Dead]

In my opinion, the film doesn't out do the artwork. That sometimes happens though.
