Of the choice to incorporate zombies, Ross has stated that "we wanted them to be uber-soldiers for the Nazis and wanted them to be faster and just not be affected by bullets as much as regular soldiers."[4]
American soldiers are sent on a mission to prevent Nazi scientists from creating a super serum to transform their victims into an unstoppable fighting force.[3]

Receptionedit
Rotten Tomatoes currently gives Horrors of War a rating of 9%.[5] Cinema Crazed criticized the acting while praising the "focus on characterization and engrossing scenarios" which created "an entertaining and interesting horror hybrid for the whole family!".[6] Scott Weinberg of FEARnet also reviewed the movie, stating that it was "An admirable little indie that earns points for keeping a poker-straight face throughout all the craziness."[5] Bryan Senn noted that the film's premise, which combined the genres of horror and war, had promise but that "turned out to be a cinematic bridge too far, as its ambition far outstrips its abilities."[7] Massawyrm of Ain't It Cool News reviewed the movie, stating that they weren't quite sure what to make of it and that "Horrors of War is a film that is woefully out of its depth, a film so ambitious, so determined, and yet so big that its low budget simply cannot support it.
