I was very surprised by this feature. I first waited for a film like RED SANDS or DEVIL'S TOMB, and many others as we see in DVD stores - rental or not. Afghanistan every where with "lost patrols" wiped out by evil spirits. Dozends of them. With many special effects and pyrotechnics, characters we already know before watching them...In resume, films all the same.
In this one, of course we also have the lost platoon in the middle of nowhere, in the deep of Afghanistan, but this movie is strangely - how can I say...SIMPLE. Yes, simple. Temperate, sparing of useless words, the characters are interesting and we dare hold our attention for them. At first, we can see it as a sort of documentary, with an off voice. We don't see it as a horror feature. And, of course, it is. With demons and so on. But really, I repeat, it's different from the others.
The "inside" is the same, but not the "outside". And I think this is very important.
Get it.
