The movie gets 10 Points for action and 2 points for ideology. That makes 6 points. Wanna know why? BHD is a roller-coaster ride through urban close combat with a realistic portray of war on the ground. This movie is a lot of fun to watch because of its drive and the beautiful camera work.

What weakens the impression of most US war movies is their ideological approach: BHD tells us that the US went to war to protect human rights, not their oil interests. In reality about 1000 Somalis and twenty US soldiers died in this conflict. You will remember every dead American character – but not one of the dead Somalis.

Got it?

This episode movie uses demons, meditation and a strange sect as its vehicle for the ultimate traumatic horror movie: the whole atmosphere of this film is extremely frightening though you never believe the esoteric background that is supposed to be there! The people doing the movie obviously never had real contact to the Baghwan ideology. But who cares? I don't think John Wayne ever was a professional cowboy nor was Louis De Funes a french Policeman. Anyway, there are some professional actors in this flick doing their best, some horror movie buffs just playing actors. Good old German Matthieu Carriere plays a spiritual healer in the last episode. Attention: The special effects are not for those with weak stomachs: eyelids are cut off, a guy skins himself alive and there goes your breakfast! If you are into splatter and gore but to old to take Fulci seriously – give these young film makers a try.
