Seven Great Military Horror Movies

Having my own military-horror novel, Dark War: Retribution on Kickstarter has put me in a military-horror frame of mind. A few words in case you are new to the genre. Military-horror isn't about the horror of war itself. Nope, that's a serious matter and a subject for a more thoughtful post than this. No, the military-horror genre mixes two of my favorite types of novels and film, horror and military action, and mixes them. 

Scouring the Interweb I found this "best of" list by Trisha Chambers. Give it a read, give the movies a watch. Some, like Dogs Soldiers, are action-packed, edge-of-the-seat thrillers. Others, like Dead Snow, are part laugher, part screamer, and all fun.
