It's the Eastern Front, 1944. The Russians are pushing the German Army back through Romania. Major Kurt Fleischer, war-weary commander of an elite troop of German soldiers, is ordered to escort a female scientist into a mysterious forest behind enemy lines to retrieve an ancient relic. As his men begin to disappear in strange circumstances Fleischer realises that the scientist is part of Himmler's occult department and there is something in the forest that is far more deadly than the Russians.

Watched this the other night and it's far better than most recent b movie nazi horrors that it might got pigeon-holed with such as Iron Sky.
The director shows real promise and the effects stand up well for something that is low budget. I class The Keep as the top of the game when it comes to Nazi horror, and this is not like that at all, but again it is superior to the likes of Dead Snow and Iron Sky.
If you like zombies, war, and good old fashioned b-movie horror then this is well above the average. I really enjoyed it and will definitely watch it again with some friends and a few beers one night.
