A military unit going somewhere runs into some kind of – better yet if it is supernatural – evil. This is a bloody good premise. I remember other pretty similar films from recent years (we’ve actually had two in the last six months), but none of them managed to fully exploit its potential. And yet, a film with a premise like this could be great – an abandoned place, an underground bunker, magic, the supernatural, cabin fever… But no, after a promising beginning all of them fall into either mindless shootouts or psychoanalytical dramatic boredom, and you don’t have any character to relate to. It’s a shame. The Squad is well made, it takes place in a nice atmospheric setting for horror, but in the end it’s nothing more than average. Oh well! (2012.06.19)
