Zombies are probably the only movie concept more overused than WWII, so it’s fitting that they’d eventually end up in the same movie. This one’s called Stone’s War, formerly War of the Dead. It premieres at Cannes and will be out in June.
"In the frozen arctic forests, Captain Martin Stone is leading an elite platoon of American and Finnish soldiers as they attack an enemy bunker. Underestimating the enemy’s strength, they are quickly beaten back into the forest. As they try to regroup, they are suddenly attacked by the same soldiers they had just killed a few minutes earlier. Forced to flee deeper into Russian territory, they discover one of the most terrifying secrets of World War II and realize they have woken a far more deadly enemy. Death is no longer the final frontier." [Source]
Wait, I thought space was the final frontier, it’s death now? Anyway, a movie about Nazi zombies that’s totally serious? Did the guys from Metalocalypse make this? Scandinavians are really into zombies and Satanism, and that would be cool if they had any sense of irony whatsoever. Look guys, I just want to listen to Slayer, I don’t actually want to drink animal blood.
I hope the apocalypse actually happens and that it’s just like an Adam Shankman movie.

So the Holocaust was just a recruiting effort?
DB’s Dead Nazi Garlic Cesar Cockbreathed Zombie Mother
This leads me to the ultimate question:
Is it OK to listen to Trans Siberian Orchestra in any month other than December?
Finnish soldiers? I guess they’re like the Marty Jannetty of that combo.
Dor sho gha! Someone beat Jack! to a Marty Jannety joke???
The original pitch was to have the zombies be Jews that were killed during the Holocaust. The problem with that was there wasn’t enough money in the budget for all the CGI’d skeletons.
J: da-amn
Do Jewish zombies need to have the bodies blessed by rabbis before they eat them?
Is this movie already Finnished? LOL! *sigh
Fek, I’e been meaning to ask: Is your avataur your drivers license photo?
Will this film be followed by a Steven Spielberg documentary about Jewish zombies?
Is your avataur your drivers license photo?
Senior picture.
Tyler Perry is writing a zombie film about successful black zombies with large, quirky families, who get by on love and life’s little lessons. It’s called "Madea of the Dead."
Alright, just 3 things:
1. Where is the obligatory photo of Geroge Washingto?
2. Big ups to the Burnsy for the Marty Jannetty reference.
3. Do. Not. Fucking. Care. About. This. Movie. (Unless some fine ass ho gets nekkid init).
I can’t stop laughing at Fek’s response to his avatar…..
So in WWII we fought Germany, Japan and zombies? That doesn’t seem right. Where the hell is Jack? He can sort this out for me.
Fek, what was your senior quote?
J-only because you can’t tell if I am joking or telling the truth. :P
By the by, do you have to have a special license to operate a Klingon spacecraft? Like a CDL for zero-grav?
Amy Winehouse, your agent is on the phone. He’s got the "perfect film vehicle" for a bitch who already looks like a zombie Holocaust victim.
They’ll have to edit some of your tats, tho.
World War II, Zombies, and the Requiem for a Dream Music. Damn! If only they had a black guy dying in that clip, I could have hit my "bullshit cliche" Parlay bet!
Fek, what was your senior quote?
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift, that’s why we call it the present.
-FEK
If you think about it, the Italians in WWII were kind of like Zombies: They were in desperate need of brains; they ultimately tried to kill everybody, and smelled like rotted flesh.
That was Mussolini’s fault, he was a nut.
The Italians sided with whoever appeared to be winning at the time, all while shouting loudly and gesturing excitedly. I call that brilliant millitary strategy.
The world’s first true bandwagon fans…
Literally, a bandwagon is a wagon which carries the band in a parade, circus or other entertainment. The phrase ‘jump on the bandwagon’ was first used in American politics in 1848 as a result of Dan Rice, President Lincoln’s court jester. Campaigning for Zachary Taylor, Dan Rice, a professional circus clown, used his bandwagon for Taylor’s appearances, gaining attention by way of the music. As Taylor’s campaign became more successful, more politicians strove for a seat on the bandwagon, hoping to be associated with the success. Later, during the time of William Jennings Bryan’s 1900 presidential campaign, bandwagons had become a standard fixture of campaigns, and ‘jump on the bandwagon’ was used as a derogatory term, implying that people were associating themselves with the success without considering what they associated themselves with.
Like Yankees fans.
Reqiuem For a Bad Movie
I wonder if the film makers realised that in 1940, Finland was on the German’s side.
New up Easter Bunny Butt-Fuckers!!
Without going into too long a historical argument with you jim, Finland had a really tough choice between Germany and Russia and didn’t want either country coming in and ruining their shit. They were like the kid who owned the boombox, but who was the son of the developer trying to destroy the rec center.
I understand that. completely. Finland was screwed either way in WW2. I am just saying that if it were Norwegian guerrilas and US soldiers, I would buy it. And while grateful that its a WWII era movie of sorts that doesnt seem to involve the French Resistance, I was just pointing out that this movie seems to have a decent enough budget that the writers could have checked google or wikipedia on the history of Finland. If there is one thing I cannot stand, its historical innacuracies in WWII-Zombie crossover films. it just blows all the credibility right out the window.
also, the one dude in the trailer looks just like Antero Niitymaki, the goalie for the Philadelphia Flyers.

Amen, Brother. Amen.
You’re right jim, he does look like Niitymaki. They should play that up too. In the movie somebody could unleash a hail of bullets at him, but he survives because they all go between his legs.

Live Long, prosper, and may the force be with you.

maybe there is a scene where the nazi zombies throw a grenade, and he flashes the leather on a timely glove save.
but then I guess he would get blown up.
I wonder if he would still get credited with the shutout?
Fuck their arctic forest-dwelling nazi zombies. Watch "Shockwaves" with Peter Cushing. It’s got tropical underwater nazi zombies.
How would you know when a German’s a zombie?
Just like in real life, I figure better to just stay away from them and their whole crappy country.
Marshall Plan – Germany needs braces! Marshall Plan – Germany needs braces!
too much running and jumping in slow motion. reminds me of the special olympics.
To appeal to their target audience for this piece of shit, they really just needed to name it NAZI ZOMBIES add one line:
"That is it! I’ve had it with these motherfucking zombies in this motherfucking Gestapo."
Oh, it’s so kitsch. Let’s camp out on the sidewalk for tickets.
Kill yourselves.
i say just skip this movie altogether and go for Bloodsucking Nazi Zombies.
[us.imdb.com]
which, sadly, I have seen, and more sadly, is even worse than the title makes it sound. but at least there is none of this Finland-being-with-the-Allies nonsense.
He’s undead, jim. Can’t get the damn trailer to play but does it show if the zombies are Nazis or Red Army, who, as has been, mentioned, were at war with the Finns in 1940 and which meant that the Allies were too, although we were very half-arsed about it. Oh yeah, 1940. WHAT THE FUCK ARE AMERICANS DOING IN A WW2 MOVIE SET IN 1940? Or is that explained too? Goddamnit. Never heard of the movie jim linked too, but it sounds like there are some boobs in it. The Keep had your genuine Nazi zombies and some boobs also, if memory serves.
