Burial

For a low-budget movie Burial is ok. There's is one good scene in the forest that shows that the director has potential.

But really annoying is how the different languages of the charakters are managed:

The Russians and the Germans speak English among each other, but sometimes they speak Russian or German what really makes no sense in this context.

If the director wants to know how this is done, he should watch Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds.

Actually I was hoping for something interesting to happen at the end, but there's no twist or revelation.

The visual effects are good, especially the scenes of Berlin in ruines at the beginning of the movie.

The actors perfom well, I think I never saw any of them in a movie before.

The movie should only be watched when I do not find a better movie, but it should be easy to find a better movie.

Burial is decent enough post WWII story that was horrifyingly mislabeled. Only substance that's even remotely haunting is that a group of soldiers carrying a casket around. In aspects of a war movie Burial manages to present yet another side story of the post WW society that's still grasping the new realities. Gloomy skies with dark woods beneath are tone setters for a darkness refusing to cease it's existence. Cast puts up a fine performance to portray the exhausted soldiers struggling to finish up the final assignment. Apart from it's historical value there's hardly anything that sparks for this flick. But it would pass the time just fine.

There were no werewolves. Not a horror movie at all. We both fell asleep by the end. I think if we had actually known what it was going to be about we may have liked it more, but we're let down. My husband is a big fan of werewolves, so we were excited! At this point I'm basically just writing more characters so this review goes through so anyone else who thinks they're about to watch a kitschy werewolf nazi low budget horror movie know that that is not what they're going to be watching. It will be a meh movie that pulls you in because you think it's going to have werewolves, but only has werewolf.

As others said, this movie has no supernatural or horror elements besides some intense moments with out of place music. Annoying, since it keeps popping up with actual supernatural horror and werewolf movies. It also has a lot of historic inaccuracies, far more than justifiable for plot, so I can't even recommend it for history buffs. It's also somewhat hard to follow at times as while the audio is 99% in English (with mostly English actors as well), they're supposed to be switching between Russian, Polish, and German with only a throwaway sentence to indicate the change in language. Three stars if only because it does look decent for the budget and none of the actors are completely terrible.

This is a Director Ben Parkers 2nd movie, give him time. There's a little insight at Polish people misery in WWII, which I am sympathetic as an Estonian. Our nation suffered kind a similar fate in WWII, like a meat grinder between nazi and soviet forces.

Overall, a simple war movie. No big battles, no big fancy special effects, no big budget. Idea is good, I think, but something is lacking. Or maybe it is bad editing. There are some really odd moments. Like if actor takes his hand form under coat and it is full of blood looks like homemade movie. But then again if it would have been Tom Hanks maybe it had been ok. But anyways director Ben needs to keep going.
