Deathwatch (2004)
Monochrome, monotone supernatural soldiers-in-peril flick that took me exactly two minutes after the title sequence to figure out where it was going. It's a revision of a well-known early-90s movie except with more characters, and that helps the situation not. There are a couple of good scenes (notably the bit where a man is attacked by living barbed wire that threads itself through his face), but then Lion's Gate put all of these interesting bits into the red-band trailer so do yourself a favor and track that down instead. You get all the good parts without the 90-odd minutes of indistinguishable WWI grunts yelling at each other in oft-unintelligible British accents.
Grade: C
