As others have said the movie isnt great but passable. Watch it with the fact it is a B movie and you will enjoy it more. Great setting for a game. I also read the book back in my teens, as I recall it was a good book.

Wonderful setting for a game, that's for sure.

Does anyone know where it was set?  Or where it was filmed?

I think the book was set in Romania.

No idea about the film mind you! IMDB time!

Got to agree that the book was much better than the film, but even so, with a couple of beers inside you and your brain off the hook its not a bad watch.

This is making me wonder if I have ever watched a film sober... A little bit worrying that. Still, it makes it easier to watch 'em again cos I don't remember what happened at the end...

Well, you don't do your online shopping sober so why would you? 

[JollyBob]

You just had to bring that up, didn't you?

The book was great, the movie disappointed me.  Seems cliche'd now (Nazis vs Vampires & Zombies) , but was probably very original when it came out.  I suspect both have been the source of many computer games in the last 20 years (Castle Wolfenstein?)

Great novel...slightly Lovecraftian references always please me and there are a few...the movie is pretty brutal but still a fun watch if you've never seen it. Also, there was a comic adaptation a while back. I've got the single issues and a graphic novel around somewhere...fairly well done, pretty cool art if memory serves.
