To celebrate the centenary of WW1, a TV Documentary team travels to the Somme to put together a ratings smash about new mysteries relating to the famous battle. However, what they unearth is far from a new story of those that died 100 years ago – but an army of the undead and a brand new war.

World War Dead: Rise of the Fallen Audience Reviews

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Michael Ledo "World War Dead - Rise Of The Fallen" and "Clash of the Dead" are the same film. This is a found footage zombie film. A documentary crew with internal conflict are filming at Somme and talking about the battle with Dr. Brian Locke (Robert Bladen) an egotist expert. The discussion wanders off to a curse of the undead and an amulet found on an Rhodesian soldier. The next thing you know, zombies, which were not as well made up as the picture on the cover. We have the run at night cam, ground cam, and screaming while jerky the camera scare.The film started out as it might be interesting, but the actors were not convincing and the dialogue fell a little short. What I didn't understand was how the mining helmet lights still worked after 100 years. I want one of those batteries.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity
FountainPen How many "movies" such as this have been produced and put on the market? As I work my way through several hundred DVDs bought in bulk lots on eBay at bargain-basement prices, I have come across many fine motion pictures, plus a relatively high percentage of abortions such as this crud. It appears to have been made by a group of high school kids who have an idea they are cinematographers. Nope, they aren't, and never will be. The concept for the film is reasonable, but the acting, scripting, direction, and everything else are lousy, painful to watch. On the plus side, the film is shot in focus. I suppose once the group are heavily into production, they figure they've reached the point of no return, so might as well finish it and try to recover some of the money spent on the drivel. Sorry to sound so "sour grapes", but I am. I resent "movies" which are touted as being of value but turn out to be real stinkers. Did I mention moronic dialogue and pitiable characters? Yes, they're included in this movie-going experience. Maybe, if the target audience is pre-teenagers, the flick is well-aimed. NOT RECOMMENDED! Rated 1/10 because IMDb don't permit a zero out of ten. Thank you for reading my complaint. #
Nigel P A troupe of highly argumentative film-makers travel to the Somme to record a documentary. Their internal disagreements are interrupted by figures in the distance that suddenly disappear. Similar events occur within and around 'Devil's Wood', scene of one of the most central WW1 Somme battles.Professor Brian Lock's (Robert Bladon) facts are subject to 'artistic embellishment' by a clearly underwhelmed Marcus (Ray Panthaki), who is trying to spice up his documentary. Although his arrogance is legendary among his fellows, it's easy to sympathise with Marcus' point of view. Very little actually happens for a long time, but he decayed cadaver of a Rhodesian soldier dragged from a misty river threatens to liven things up, especially as he appears to have swallowed a black magic amulet – it's apparent power involves bringing the dead back to life.For a found footage film, there aren't many attempts to keep it strictly realistic; too many camera angles for the available equipment to actually record, and the addition of evocative ambient incidental music at crucial moments (music that isn't interrupted by the constant – and annoying – times when the camera breaks up and crackles in the way of this style of film-making). That's not a particular problem for me: we know this isn't an actual documentary; the days when an audience wondered if a found footage film was a drama or real life ended with 'The Blair Witch Project' sixteen years earlier.Of the characters, Marcus is perhaps the best defined. He does his best to be irritating, but is very well played and emerges being strangely likable long before his elevation to apologetic hero towards the end.This isn't the greatest film of its kind, but it features a good cast and an excellent location. The fusion of World War and zombies continues apace, with once again bunkers and trenches and murky fields providing an excellent backdrop for the activities of the living dead.
David Igra Had it been a production of a group of high school kids it would've been perceived as funny and rather a successful first attempt of movie making. But being as this project actually has some established actors in it, one can only marvel at how that came about to be.The film makes good use of many old tricks and methods in order to scare the viewer without actually showing much of anything. When done properly it can work, however in this case it's just sad and shows clearly how the film budget must've been no more than a couple of thousand euros.The film is just terrible.
