Not a battlefield, but a cemetery

At first I thought it was a pure war film, and then I found out that I was wrong.
This should be regarded as the intersection of war and horror films. Since the beginning of war, it has always been narrative with horror films. The film has to express more than just war. Now, I can remember a theme at the end, because I really help people can get freedom or life.
The main place of the story is a cemetery, not just a trench. The corpses all over the floor, complete and incomplete It is completely presented before your eyes, and you don’t want to look at it, because it’s always there. When you see it, everyone will have an idea—anti-war. It’s true, and I thought it was an anti-war theme at first.
However, with the continuous occurrence of supernatural events, we began to be enveloped by a breath of terror. The killing and mutual suspicion between the comrades in arms made me think that this was a psychological problem caused by the war. Later, I discovered that these events were not explainable by science at all, so a completely supernatural horror film was presented. Until the end of the film, all the supernatural events did not give us an explanation, but it felt that it was the layout of the German captive. Therefore, the story is somewhat unacceptable, and the final theme expression is naturally acceptable to the audience. We all want Sha to survive, and this is the conclusion of everyone after thinking about human nature, because he is really helping others.
However, in general, the visual impact of the movie is very strong, but the expression of the theme somewhat disappointed me. Although there are acceptable themes, it seems that such a theme is a bit too much to express with such themes and scenes.

    A rare war-themed horror film, similar to South Korea's "R Heights", I prefer the weird atmosphere of "R Heights", but "The Valley of Souls" is more complete in thought. Whether it is "R Heights" or "The Valley of Souls", the soldiers in it actually died early in the morning, but they didn't know it, and only one soldier survived in the end. . . . .

    Okay, a story about a ghost driving a group of people crazy. War is cruel. Killing creates grievances. When will grievances be repaid.

  • Sgt. David Tate: Don't call me 'sir', alright? I'm a sergeant, I work for a living.

  • Capt. Bramwell Jennings: Ok listen, we have captured a forward German Trench. That's a rare achievement gentlemen and may be vital to the war effort. We will hold this trench until we are reinforced, we must. That is our duty. Get some scoff on, get a brew going, see if we can make the best of it.
