An army detective hunts for a serial killer who easily hides
during the carnage of World War II.
This Spanish film is set within a team of soldiers who are
sent to help Germany fight against the Russian army.
It opens with a beautifully shot scene showing a frozen
wasteland littered with the remains of both humans and horses. It is among these
bodies that the first victim is found.
This wisely doesn’t get too bogged down in the politics of
its setting and I wouldn’t consider this a war film as such. It is a detective
drama set amongst war.
Unfortunately the initial promise isn’t built on and the
investigation becomes somewhat stale. Maybe a few more war type battle scenes
would have livened things up!
Frozen Silence looks fantastic but the story doesn’t match
up to the cinematography. It’s available on DVD in the UK now.
