This is a Twilight Zone type story that involves five soldiers out on a mission. And they soon find themselves stuck in a foxhole in an apparently deserted camp. Then strange things begin to happen. For one they are surrounded by strange creatures shrouded in black who do not fire on them or attempt to hurt them in any way but still they stay out there watching, almost as if waiting for something. And this, along with other things that happen, cause these men to question weather they are alive or dead. And that is where their struggle begins. Exploring the age old question of fate and if it is something that is written in stone or is it something we as people can affect. One by one, four of these five men give in to fate as it were and walk off into the woods never to be seen again, but Captain Jason Briggs will not give up for any reason and in the end it is up to him alone to fine out if he can truly change his own fate.

Notes

My quick rating - 5,2/10. Never heard of this one and just was spotted so may as well hit it right away. I caught the first line of the synopsis and it mentioned Twilight Zone which is right on target as this definitely has that type of feel. The main character actually just said, "I have seen every episode of the Twilight Zone a thousand times but I never expected to end up in one." Ted Prior who plays the captain was right about that as he lead his platoon on a mission that has all the soldiers questioning just who the enemy actually is. If you are a fan of that show or others like it that present you with scenarios that have multiple meanings as to why they are occurring, you will definitely enjoy this one. It is clearly limited by budget but does a good job making up for it with a well-written story. As a movie though, there really isn't enough to it to separate itself from a myriad of episodes I have seen before and it also doesn't have enough to the story to escalate it further past being a good TV episode. Acting wise the players were fine but a couple of them sounded too much like they were just reading off the script. Keep in mind, this is almost entirely talking about what is going on and flashbacks of the main characters in what may have gotten them into this predicament. I will say that when the credits roll, you are left wondering what the true point of this was. Not in a bad way, just that all the clues are presented throughout in the background scenes but it is creatively left alone enough to not spell it out for you. As someone who enjoys putting a little brainpower into my viewing, I enjoyed it. You can as well for free on TubiTV.
