THE DEAD TIMES

RATING:

ZOMBIE RATING:

DESCRIPTION:

The war is going badly for Hitler - the Allies are routing the German forces on all fronts. Defeat seems certain so the diabolical Führer, in desperation mixed with a love of science and the paranormal, creates a new breed of warrior - unstoppable undead Nazi super soldiers. Against this foul new enemy, the Allies take heavy losses and eventually commission a special team of brave troopers to find, infiltrate and destroy Hitler's war labs. However, the troopers are shot down en route. Lost in occupied France, the brave few men sent on this perilous mission are caught between the German army and the unstoppable horrors they came to destroy.

MY VERDICT:

I must point out that I am only writing this review as a warning - please, please, for the love of God, do not watch this atrocious movie. Do not be fooled by the vaguely cool sounding description or the intriguing box art as they really have no relation to the film. For example, the unstoppable horde of Nazi super soldiers marching forward? Actually there are only three of them and they are stopped relatively easily - with a bullet to the head. The box art also shows a big head in the top of the image that looks like a Zombified Hitler, leading his deathly army below. It's actually a werewolf - yes, in this movie werewolves are regular-looking people wearing blue rubber masks bought at the local joke shop. It's also not Hitler nor does the single werewolf in the entire movie have anything to do with the German war machine. The acting, pacing and production quality are all equally dire. The CGI sequence where the plane carrying the Allies gets shot down looks awfully familiar to a cutscene from the one of the series of Medal of Honor games - opening copyright issues if anyone high-up bothered to watch this rubbish. There is simply nothing good to say about this low-budget flop.
