Boots on the Ground
Genre WAR HORROR
Theme Supernatural
Style Found Footage
Director: Louis Melville · Cast: Ryan McParland, Tom Ainsley, Ian Virgo, Valmike Rampersad
The Story
Five British soldiers try to survive their last night in Afghanistan before the war ends for them. What they run into that night isn’t the enemy they were trained for.
Verdict
An interesting idea, mixing war footage with supernatural horror, but the execution doesn’t quite get there. Low budget shows in the effects, and the pacing drags in the middle. Points for trying something different, even if it doesn’t fully work.
