Reaction: A nice profit here for the war/horror film. The war genre has quietly been a pretty successful one for the studio, with just two of the studio's 12 war films failing to earn a profit.


"Death in the Shadows doesn't re-invent the wheel, but it is a sufficiently entertaining war/action/horror hybrid film with plenty of thrills and gore for genre audiences." - Michael Carthage, Associated Press


"The film takes its time getting going, as most S. Craig Zahler films do, but things get pretty intense for the characters in the second half of the film as they find themselves in a dark dungeon trying to survive." - Vincent Kerr, Washington Post


"While I appreciated the grittiness in which S. Craig Zahler directed the project, the story itself doesn't make good enough use of its interesting premise." - Stephen Anderson, Entertainment Weekly

Rated R for graphic violence and some language
