This July ‘Ghosts Of War’ Will Haunt Cinemas And Digital (Trailer)

I imagine if any place could be haunted it would be those locations where men died in the dirt fighting wars or places associated with horrible atrocities. In the new trailer for the World War II set supernatural thriller Ghosts of War, we get both of those things. We see a group of soldiers who are tasked with guarding a mansion, not knowing the terror that awaits them. In Ghosts of War, five battle-hardened American soldiers are assigned to hold a French Chateau near the end of World War II. Formerly occupied by the Nazi high command, this unexpected respite quickly descends into madness when they encounter a supernatural enemy far more terrifying than anything seen on the battlefield. Written and directed by Eric Bress, the film stars Brenton Thwaites, Alan Ritchson, Skylar Astin, Theo Rossi, Kyle Gallner, Billy Zane, and Shaun Toub. Ghosts of War arrives on July 17, 2020, in virtual cinemas, On Demand, and Digital, and will
