Ghosts of War Reviews
Ghosts of War may not be great cinema or even a particularly good horror thriller, but it does offer plenty of entertainment value for the hungry horror fans with its cast and impressive production design.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Aug 10, 2021
When the inevitable twist does come, it's so lame it'll make most viewers roll their eyes for the remaining 20 minutes of the runtime...
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 22, 2021
British supernatural horror taking place largely in France towards the end of World War II, alternately tense and quite a rush.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 10, 2021
Its lackluster writing, uninteresting characters, and dull performances add up to a true waste of potential.
| Original Score: 5.5/10 | Oct 21, 2020
...definitely a film that is tailor-made for watching at home, on a Friday night when your critical faculties have slightly failed you...

Sometimes trying to be twisty and different just doesn't work. This movie is example A of that premise.
| Original Score: 3/10 | Aug 7, 2020
With the benefit of some time having passed...I've come to better appreciate what Bress was trying to achieve and how everything fits together in hindsight. (Full Content Review for Parents - Violence, Profanity, Nudity, etc. - also Available)

A dreary and bewildering WWII ghost story that eventually twists into something stupid, preposterous, and morally suspect.
| Original Score: D | Jul 30, 2020
The tone is compelling, and the actors add terrific edges to their roles.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 30, 2020
This is the kind of film that manipulates the characters in ways to respond to these supernatural elements in a manner fitting for the scene rather than the movie as a whole.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Jul 25, 2020
Ghosts of War falls short of its inspired premise, but credit to writer/director Eric Brees for offering a uniquely brazen adventure that packs a plethora of gratifying moments.

The smartest thing Eric Bress did in Ghosts of War was to cast Billy Zane, and the dumbest thing he did was keeping Billy Zane off screen for 90% of the movie.

Ghosts Of War wants us to think it's a psychological thriller but, truth be told, there's not a lot of depth here.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 20, 2020
A by the numbers haunted house story with generic scares and standard black-eyed, long mouthed apparitions. Baffling tonal shifts exacerbate these moments of trope horror.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 20, 2020
Overall, it's a good film, but not great. It has a few great scenes peppered throughout and a couple of scares, so it works okay.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 20, 2020
[Director Eric Bress's] overly ambitious attempt to expand beyond a simple haunting tale implodes Ghosts of War's ending - when it most deserved being kept simple.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 19, 2020
Bress has outdone himself yet again with Ghosts of War, and I'm excited for all of you to see it.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Jul 18, 2020
It thinks it's imparting some profound lesson, but I walked away from it only 50 percent sure of what it was trying to say. The only satisfaction I felt at the end was "Thank God it's over."

It's a horror movie and a war movie, and I really appreciated the war movie.
| Jul 18, 2020
Taking the horrors of battle a bit too literally, this lackluster thriller awkwardly combines a haunted-house story with a World War II saga.
