This is not a war film; nor a human drama; it is, however, an excellent horror movie. It is one of the best horror films ever put out by Hollywood. It could have been hokey, corny, or overly dramatic, but it is merely a statement of the realities of the time and place. Zombie and Dracula films pale in comparison to these horrors. It is the horror of the soul that is far greater than the horror of the body. A film to be cherished for the ages.
