Well, well, what to say about "Battlefield Death Tales" (aka "Nazi Zombie Death Tales"), except that it was quite extraordinary - although, not in a particularly good way.
The movie is divided into three segments, much like movies such as "Creep Show" (for us somewhat older movie watchers). These three tales are individual stories told, and deal with very different topics, even having three different directors to them.
The first segment is titled "Medal of Horror" and is directed by James Eaves. This is actually the best of all three stories, zombie-wise that is. Although it wasn't particularly great to begin with. Without going too much into detail, then expect to meet a zombiefied Red Baron here, and a zombiefied Kamikaze pilot. Aside from the obvious mistakes as to why these zombies were there, look for the hilarious scale-model plane used as the Red Baron's crashed airplane - it was just outrageous.
"Harriet's War" is the name of the second installment to the trilogy, and this is directed by Alan Ronald. This segment is without a doubt the best directed and the one with the best (and professional) production to it. Although the segment suffers from a really bad plot, then it does manage to elevate itself from the other two simply because it is the one that managed to stand out as the most well-thought-through and carefully planned segment.
The third and final segment is titled "Devils of the Blitz", and is nothing short of a horrible swing and a miss. It is directed by Pat Higgins, and it contains demonic creatures during World War II; horribly fake plastic prosthetics of demonic creatures that is. Not only does the story deviate so much from the previous two stories that it is painful to watch, then the story is just downright ridiculous.
I will say that the people they had cast for all three segments were doing good enough jobs with their given roles. And I assume it is an uphill fight to work with inadequate scripts and dialogue.
"Nazi Zombie Death Tales", as the DVD is titled when purchased from Amazon, was a really disappointing experience. I had expected it to be somewhat more of a spoof or comedy given the DVD cover. But it was obviously meant to be horror - which it wasn't, trust me.
Hand on heart, then I can't come up with a single reason for recommending this movie (or any of the segments) to anyone, because there was just nothing outstanding here, and in overall it wasn't really particularly entertaining or enjoyable.
