War Of The Dead is further proof that I'll watch any old tosh if it features the potentially awesome combo of Nazis and zombies. A US/Lithuanian/Italian co-production, this shoddy mess of a movie sees a platoon of American and Finnish soldiers come up against the results of a German 'anti-death' experiment: snarling super-zombies. What follows is a virtually plot less series of dull battle scenes between the living and the undead, all of it shot at night, most of it very hard to discern, and none of it in the slightest bit scary or exciting, despite the urgent music and frantic camera-work trying to convince otherwise.
The only remotely interesting aspect about the whole thing—a strange clockwork device stolen by one of the soldiers—is subsequently ignored without any explanation of its relevance or purpose.
According to IMDb's trivia, James Van Der Beek was originally slated to play Captain Stone. When Van Der Beek bails on a project, you know you're in trouble
