Burial

Burial

Set in the last days of World War II, a small band of Russian soldiers led by intelligence officer Brana Vasilyeva, who is tasked with trafficking the remains of Hitler back to Stalin in Russia. En route, the unit is attacked by German ‘Werewolf’ partisans and picked off one-by-one. Brana leads her surviving comrades in a last stand to ensure their ‘cargo’ doesn’t fall into the hands of those who would see it buried in order to hide the truth forever.

    Misleading and inaccurate
    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.

    Werewolves?
    I hate tuning into movies that are advertised as being horror films, and turn out to be anything but. "Burial" is one of those movies.

    The premise is that Russian soldiers near the end of WWII find Adolf Hitler's remains, and are tasked with transporting the corpse to Moscow so that Josef Stalin can see the body with his own eyes. According to the promos for this farce, the Russian soldiers are targeted by Naxi werewolves who are intent on recovering Hitler's corpse.

    Instead of horror movie lycanthropes, however, the "werewolves" are Nazi soldiers and sympathizers. One of them even runs around in a fur suit with an attached wolf head. There are no supernatural creatures in this movie at all. It's a war film, not a horror movie, and it's not even a very good one. So, don't be mislead and tune in expecting horror movie.
