The Killing Box (1993)
Director: George Hickenlooper
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
An arty zombie movie, this atmospheric American Civil War tale is described by director George (Hearts of Darkness) Hickenlooper as 'Conrad with a twist of Bram Stoker'. Confederate soldiers thought killed in an earlier skirmish are now suspected of a gruesome massacre. Forced into an alliance with Union captain Pasdar, captive Confederate colonel Bernsen finds Union soldiers crucified upside down on X-shaped crosses. Is an army of the undead abroad in this war-torn land? Involving, with dark undertones.Author: NF
