I was not expecting at all to see a historical film about American Civil war mixed up with a horror topic. It was very improbable, horror is usually more used on more modern wars, with ghosts and zombies. So this one is a real good surprise. This story could easily been made for Hollywood by a director such as John Mc Tiernan for instance; a topic with a strange resemblance with 13th WARRIOR, though the periods are not the same at all, but the overall melt of history and horror - dark fantasy - can match between two films. The TV frame is maybe not the best option for such a scheme, but I don't regret watching this film. A hit in the face for me.
