Haunted horror story with a brave twist. - Ghosts of War review by NP

Beautifully shot and directed low-budget tale of a squadron of soldiers spending time in a haunted house. It’s a slow burner, which won’t please some, but oozes atmosphere. The characters are well played and provide a good mix of personalities. The plot meanders and it isn’t clear where events are headed – or if they are even headed anywhere at all.

The twist will divide people, as twists always do. I didn’t care for it, although it gave a certain degree of sense to the increasingly confusing narrative. That said, I applaud the braveness of the revelation, which changes dramatically the feel of the film. My score is 6 out of 10.

Enjoyable, Exciting, Well-Made Horror Mostly Set at the end of the Second World War - Ghosts of War review by PV

I really enjoyed this film - it is well-made, well-written, well-acted as a group of 5 US GIs are tasked with guarding a mansion which becomes the archetypal haunted house.

And then, well. NO SPOILERS here but let us just say that it is a helluva twist, and one which will divide people. I was not sure about it at first. In fact, I rewound the film a bit before then as I was not sure what I had seen briefly flashed up.

But when I got used to the twist it sort of made sense.

I suppose another version could be made without it, and so then it would be a WWII haunted house horror film only.

A memorable film anyway and well done. I really enjoyed it,. 4 stars.

Ghosts are rubbish - Ghosts of War review by cr

Poor story acting and screenplay.

Hackneyed haunted house horror with no star cast.

Soldiers rock up to a haunted house and boredom ensues. Has one of the worst endings i have ever seen.

Avoid.
