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.

    Not horror, but not bad
    Why this is labeled a horror, I do not know. It has some gore and blood scenes, a off screen rape, killing, but this does not make it a horror at all. More of a war drama/suspense. As far as the movie itself, it was good. Good acting. Some of the characters were great but others were never really developed enough to get invested in their life/death. Even with the ones that were, not enough attention was made to impact the viewer emotionally. Cinematography was great. Some of the best suspenseful parts were really dark though and you could barely see. What really failed in this movie was the ending. It literally just drops off of the story and does not explain itself at all. Personally I liked it after I realized it wasn't real werewolves and realized what was actually going on.

    No Werewolves To Be Had Here
    Wow, when i going over the reviews for Burial before watching it, i was kinda surprised. Everyone seemed to hate it. I mean really, really hate it. But i'm nothing if not up for a challenge, so i prodded on... and i'm glad i did.

    Burial isn't a horror film, even if it was on Shudder. I suspect that was the reason for all the hatred. But what Burial was is a thoughtful, moving film about a subject i've always found fascinating..what if Hitler really didn't die in that bunker? What if he survived? How would history have changed? Some very intriguing questions that i'm so thankful we never had to face, but i can imagine the terror that the men and women of Europe must've felt back then during that time.

    So to sum up: don't expect any supernatural elements in Burial. They're just not there. Sorry.

    Watch Burial for an interesting glimpse into a historical era that shaped our past.

    And again, there are no furry werewolves in Burial.

    Watch Dog Soldiers if you're in the mood for a gory good time. You can thank me later.
