Danse Macabre

Advantages: Spooky, gross and generally not nice in places.
Disadvantages: Thin characters.

...I found Deathwatch to have something of an identity crisis that didn’t necessarily detract from its effectiveness as a horror movie. It wasn’t sure whether it was a psychological, white-knuckle, tense creeper or a total gut spilling grossfest and flicked between the two, from the very moment a foot went through the chest cavity of an ageing corpse to the quasi-imaginary noises of warfare that built and built to a crescendo, the climax of which was ...
...times and it was creepy, it was gross in parts and I would recommend getting all food out of the way before you begin to watch. Keep the tortillas and salsa until after. On the evening we watched the DVD, a thunderstorm hung in the air and provided with extra audio-visual elements and though the days of hiding behind the sofa are long gone for most of us (because, let’s face it, we’ve all been desensitised to it all), I would go so far as saying ...

War or Horror Film???

Advantages: Different plot
Disadvantages: Doesn't live up to expections

...had a interesting story line. Deathwatch is a horror film set during World War One but unlike the horrors of World War One where the armies form across Europe were subjected to horrors that no-one should have to face. World War One was a war of new technologies, old tactics and incompetent commanders cost the lives of millions of young men for the sake of a few metres of land and to protect nation's empires and world influence. The plot is relatively ...
...top' to take a German trench but as the go over an eerie fog descends upon them and when they reach the trench only small group of the soldiers have made it to the enemy trench. The film focuses on Private Charles Shakespeare (Jamie Bell), a young soldier of 16 that is terrified and shocked by the things he sees. When the few men make it to the German trench they find that it's been abandoned with only to German soldiers left alive there, cut off ...

Deathwatch - I nearly died........of boredom

Advantages: Spooky and Different
Disadvantages: Too Long

This film is set in the middle of the First world War and is about nine soldiers trapped behind enemy lines who take refuge in a complex network of German trenches. They are taking cover from the wrong enemy though. It is not the Germans they should be concerned with, as in these trenches there is a far more sinister and danderous enemy. The soldiers find themselves in the German trenches, but they are not alone. They search the trenches to find ...
...these bodies have not been killed in the war. Then there is the sole survivor. The nine soldiers see him as enemy and treat him like one too, however he knows what really lurks in the trenches. We follow the nine soldiers through their time in the trench, which for some oif them is shorter than others. The film is a good idea and has some potential, however I found most of the acting poor and big gaps in between any action. The bits of action there ...

Death Watch or war watch?

Advantages: Spooky,
Disadvantages: no sequal

I hired out this film just for curiosity and found it to be quite intresting. While it runs along the lines of being a war film, the horror side is good too but could do with a little more work. Set in the first word war in France, a group of men stranded after an overnight battle of hell come across a abandoned german trence with a few germans in it. They shoot the germans except one which they take hostage who seemes very hysterical. The film brings ...
...endure, about the rats and the mustard gas. My grandfather fought in the Somme and some of the stories he told me is enough to make your hair stand on end, the rats made a tasty meal for empty bellies so I am told. The film is rather dark in places, and can be a bit gory, as with the barbed wire which wrapped itself around one of the men before cutting him to pieces. Everyone of tyhose men except Charlie Shakesphere meets up with a nasty end, all ...
