Is the soil possessed by something even more terrible than the war that surrounds them something ancient & unholy? Have centuries of bloodshed infected the very earth? Is the trench itself alive? In this cursed lonely place Private Charles Shakespeare must overcome a terror greater even than his own deepest fear a terror beyond all human understanding Actors Jamie Bell Hugo Speer Matthew Rhys Andy Serkis Hans Matheson & Dean Lennox Kelly Director Michael J Bassett Certificate 15 years & over Year 2002 Screen Widescreen 2351 Anamorphic Languages English
