WarHunt

Ok WW2 inaccuracies from beginning to end but an enjoyable B movie romp with great special effects and spooky atmosphere !

Just one inaccuracy I can't forgive is witches wearing (polyester) chiffon that wasn't invented until the late 1950's ?!!!

It looks like the majority of the budget for this movie went into the costuming and equipment and to fund Mickey Rourke's plastic surgery.

The plot, casting, acting, editing, and special effects are all reminiscent of straight to VHS/DVD/TV "F" tier movies.

If you have an appreciation for the occult and alt fiction world war 2 media and are scraping the bottom of the barrel for any content at all it's still not advisable to view this movie.

Overall, not a bad little Weird War 2 film, in the same genre as The Bunker, Frankenstein's Army, Ghost of War, Blood Vessel, The Devil's Rock, etc. This one held much promise, but fell down in certain key areas: Most notably, the runtime was too short for the ideas it presented. A slow buildup of the twists and turns and who knew what, would have set the pacing and tone of the film better. The actors (Mickey Rourke aside, he was a bad casting choice here) did their best with what they had, but the film needed to flesh them out more, to give a better sense of their actions and so forth.

The special effects/location work was very well done for a modest film such as this, but there were a few scenes that needed better lighting so we could see what the characters were doing.

Unlike the aforementioned Blood Vessel the characters here were likable and it would have been nice to know just a bit more about them as the movie progressed.

6/10, a nice little surprise for those into Weird War films.

I really like the mix of horror and the occult and WWII, and WarHunt is no total disaster - production is okay for low budget - but WarHunt misses momentum action wise and there is never a real horror and creepy atmosphere developing. Anyway, you may give this one a try, if you like the genre/mix and need some new stuff on your plate, but be warned, compared to movies like The Bunker, The Devil's Rock, Outpost, Overlord or the exquisite Død snø and The Keep, WarHunt looks weak, cheap and redundant.

This is quite a well done movie but none of the scares actually work, and I'm not too sure why.

The script is basically Predator with some supernatural element replacing the Predator. It's quite astonishing just how many elements of Predator they ripped off, even a couple of lines as well.
