This was marketed as the "origin" prequel to the premise outlined in the first two films. Personally it serves very well as both prequel and a stand alone WW2 action horror in its own right.
I have the Dutch blu ray and the film is gory and violent as befits the subject, if your for this film you know what to expect! The lead actor is excellent as Dholokov leading his "Russian dogs" as Klassner puts it, the film has several stand out scenes bookended by a very familiar old Russian man!
The colour palette has a muted look to enhance atmosphere and the Nazi testing bed for the zombie super soldier is very well realised.
Best kill in the film is Dholokov and the Nazi radio operator very well done.
Try to rent this film excellent unrelenting authentic violence and action you certainly feel and realise that the Rusdians were perhaps the toughest soldiers of all.
