Haunted Soldiers
by pattonfever | created - 20 Jul 2011 | updated - 06 Sep 2013 | PublicThis is a sub genre quickly growing in demand lately, and this list is only haunted military films. I know there are other military horror films out there like Dog Soldiers, but those movies don't belong in this sub genre. There are not that many to so choose from so I listed them all good and bad. Although if you enjoy these types of films none are bad. They are just not as good as the others. Enjoy
