This is a combination war story and horror film that could have been better than it was. The suspenseful and creepy atmosphere is there along with plenty of action to keep you from losing your attention. The acting was fair and perhaps it could have been better.
The story however doesn't explain or go into much detail about the secret sinister experiments that were conducted in the bunker. This I feel should have been elaborated more which would have improved the story quite a bit making it far more interesting than it was.
This is one movie that at first seems to be promising but later on lets you down with disappointment. One can only feel afterwards that this movie could have been better than it was. It had all the potential to be a 1st rate horror film.

Plot summary
Captain Martin Stone is leading a finely-trained, elite platoon of Allied soldiers as they attack an enemy bunker. Underestimating their enemy's strength, they are quickly beaten back into the forest. As they try to regroup, they are suddenly attacked by the same soldiers they had just killed a few minutes earlier. Forced to flee deeper into Russian territory, they discover one of war's most terrifying secrets and realize they have woken up a far more deadlier enemy.

Could have been better
War of the Dead
This movie started out having a score of 5.9 and went down all the way to 4 sadly. Believe it or not, I did like it. The set up and the atmosphere are great. Acting is OK. And the movie has some good action scenes to keep the audience interested. And it's one of those ''Nazi zombie'' or ''War horror'' movies that I really love. But the downfall of this movie is it's story. I think this movie would have been much better if it had bigger work put into the story. Explain more about the experiments, show some flashbacks, etc. the one thing I didn't like was that the movie is VERY fast phased.
You can see that movie does not leave out character development, but it's just not enough. Needs more character development and more dialogue and more suspense.
the movie is not bad especially if you're a fan of the genre. 6/10
Nazi zombie soldier don't let up
1941, World War II. A platoon of American and Finnish soldiers led by the two-fisted Captain Martin Stone (a fine and credible performance by Andrew Tiernan) run afoul of a squadron of seemingly unstoppable German SS soldiers who turn out to be zombies.
Writer/director Marko Makilaakso keeps the enjoyable and engrossing story hurtling along at a constant quick pace, makes nice use of the desolate locations, maintains a tough gritty tone throughout, and stages the plentiful and exciting zombie attack scenes and action sequences with rip-roaring go-for-broke brio. The sound acting by the capable cast keeps this movie humming: Jouko Ahola as the hard-nosed Captain Niemi, Samuel Vauramo as helpful local Kolya, Mikko Leppilamp as the no-nonsense Lt. Laakso, and Magdalena Gorska as the frightened Dasha. Kudos are also in order for Hannu-Pekka Vitikainen's sharp widescreen cinematography and the moody score by Neal Acree and Joel Goldsmith. But the key reason this film works like gangbusters is because it rarely lets up for a minute; it's pretty damn relentless and hence packs one hell of a ferocious punch.
