ypnosis

The film paints a picture of the soldiers’ emotional experience in the confines of the trenches; an experience running the gamut from boredom to fear, panic to restlessness. Billy MacFarlane (Paul Nicholls), 17, along with his older brother, Eddie (Tam Williams), has volunteered for service. The whole squad – basically boys dressed as men – depend on the war-hardened Sergeant Winter (Daniel Craig) and the scholarly Lieutenant Hart (Julian Rhind-Tutt) for their survival. When word arrives that the squad will join the first wave of attacks, they all face the same fate.

The True Story

These dudes got stranded in the wilderness and had to defend themselves from eachother as savagery and barbarism begins to take hold. When it was all said and done, everyone had been killed when war broke out in a free for all fashion.
