War of the Dead [2012]

As its title suggests, “War of the Dead” is a horror-action hybrid which sees soldiers facing off against zombies, this time with a World War II backdrop. Much like its undead ghouls, the Finish film actually lurched its way slowly to the screen over several years, managing to overcome a troubled production history which saw funding problems and the loss of lead actors on two occasions. Thankfully, director Marko Mäkilaakso, best known for his documentaries and shorts, was able to keep a steady hand, and the film finally lands shortly on region 2 DVD via Momentum.



The film opens in 1939 in a secret Nazi bunker on the Russian/Finish border, where dastardly scientists are carrying out ‘anti-death’ experiments. Fast forward a couple of years, and a squad of American and Finish soldiers arrives on the scene, charged with cleaning up the mess and eliminating any survivors, living or dead. Surviving an ambush en route, the men are surprised to find themselves later facing again the same enemies they had recently killed, who seem to have returned to life and gained new strength in the process. With their numbers rapidly being whittled down, the remaining three squad members, an American called Martin Stone (Andrew Tiernan (“300”) and the Finnish Lieutenant Laakso (Mikko Leppilampi) and Captain Niemi (Jouko Ahola, “Kingdom Of Heaven”) are forced to trust a young local Russian soldier (Samuel Vauramo, “The American”) in order to try and destroy the evil for once and for all.
