Tagline: Deliver them from evil
Plot: 1915. The Western Front. One million or more Allied and German troops face each other across the scarred, cratered plains of northern Europe, thick with mud and blood, the air fetid with the suffocating stench of death and gas. Hundreds of thousands of young men are already buried in this terrible wasteland; hundreds of thousands more will die here before the senseless slaughter ends.It is here that one young man, only 16, much like you or I, must face his deepest fear, that he will die a coward. Private Charles Shakespeare is convulsed with terror. Death is all about him, the bodies of his closest comrades carelessly shredded by machine-gun fire. He and the last few men of Y Company are utterly lost, deep in enemy territory. Their only shelter is an abandoned German trench, a claustrophobic maze of blind corners and underground tunnels, overflowing with war dead and infested with rats. Here, exhausted and terrified, they seek refuge, waiting to be rescued. But no-one will come to rescue them. And, one by one, the young men of Y Company begin to die. Others, driven quite mad, turn on each other. Yet what is this horror they face? Is the soil possessed by something even more terrible than the war that surrounds them, something ancient and unholy? Have centuries of bloodshed

I didn't find the movie scary, but it was pretty interesting from the start. I was just expecting more horror from it. I guess it was more story and performance-driven than anything. ... Worth a rent if you're looking for something a little different, but don't bother if you're looking for scares. 6/10--FrighT MasteR (UHM)
The story is the weakest part with several question marks being unnecessarily left hanging above the viewers head and never really gets out of first gear before the whole thing ends before it delivers the crucial sucker punch. 5/10--Vaughan Dyche (thefilmasylum.com)

If you manage to keep your eyes open during the first half of the movie, you have a lot coming for you in the second half. Whether it's good or not, that's up to you to decide.  --AnthroFred (SlasherPool)
