Ghosts of War is a British Supernatural/Psychological Horror Film by Eric Hess.The year is 1944. The place is Nazi-Occupied France. In this time, a platoon of American soldiers composed of Chris (Brenton Thwaites), Tappert (Kyle Gallner), Eugene (Skylar Astin), Butchie (Alan Ritchson), and Kirk (Theo Rossi) have been assigned to watch over a chateau that was taken back from the Nazis and await further instructions. The previous platoon seemed rather eager to leave, but the soldiers don't think that much of it.Seems the last platoon's attitude was warranted, though. Not long after hunkering down in the mansion, the troops find some strange things happening in there, and begin seeing some pretty scary stuff. It soon becomes clear to them that the mansion is haunted by the ghosts of the family who lived there, the Helwigs, and they are not happy that their home is being intruded upon.The movie was released on July 17th, 2020. | |

Genre Shift: Starts as a supernatural horror set in WWII but late in the film it switches to science fiction when it's revealed the main characters are in a computer simulation. | |

Fingore: When Eugene and Tappert are trying to move a cupboard in the attic, its door slams shut on Eugene's fingers. When he pulls them out, all of Eugene's fingers are bent in odd directions. | |

The Reveal | |
| Ghosts of War / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: The cause of the haunting is that the soldiers were supposed to protect the Helwigs in the real world from ISIS, but just stood by and watched them get tortured to death. A grieving survivor tried to kill them all via suicide bombing, and with her last breath, cursed them to be haunted by their transgressions in the form of angry ghosts in the computer simulation. | |

Bait-and-Switch: Near the start, Chris spots a man smoking near where he and his platoon are sleeping. He asks the man what he wants, and the man discards his smoke and pulls out a gun. Chris brings out his own gun... and some time later, the man is gone. Of course, since it's all a computer simulation, and that man may be a representation of the ISIS leader who had the Helwigs killed. | |

Eye Scream: Butchie seems to have lost an eye in the grenade explosion, as evident by the fact that the damaged half of his face has a layer of flesh where his eye should be. There aren't any eyelids either, just a surface of injured flesh. | |

Cruel Twist Ending: Chris decides to go back into the simulation to save his squadmates from the ghosts of the Helwig family in the simulation. Unfortunately, the machine also suppresses his memory, and the next scene implies things are just going to repeat all over again. | |

Bystander Syndrome: Turns out, this is why the Helwigs are haunting the soldiers in the simulation. The soldiers were supposed to be protecting the Helwig family from ISIS in the real world in exchange for giving them medical supplies. But when an ISIS group showed up, the soldiers hid in the wall of the house, and just watched them torture the family to death. Sure, one of them trained his gun on them, but he didn't shoot. | |
