    As an American, I've heard many of the "French are pussies” statements among my fellow countryman, especially around the time of the Iraqi War. Yet whenever I'd listen to these rants- maybe even reluctantly joining in myself- I would look around in fear. For what my fellow Americans don't know is that the French are the most terrifying and wrathful people in the entire world. My evidence? I've seen their horror films and they scare me. I, of course, have to presume that a countries horror genre represents the peoples mentality as a whole. Just look at today's subject, “Martyrs”. It is one of the darkest and most harrowing horror films I've ever had to experience.

    “Deathwatch” dared to explore territory within the horror genre that most filmmakers tend to shy away from. What happens if you take some sort of War story, but then turn it into a horror film? That has to be one of the most underused concepts with either genre. Why? It's possibly because of tastes. Isn't war horrific enough without zombies or ghosts attacking people? I personally suspect that budget restrictions are the real reason, however. War movies cost a lot and horror movies don't. yet here comes "Deathwatch", a war/horror film that I can swoon over.
