Ghosts of War

Ghosts of War is a 2020 British supernatural horror war film written and directed by Eric Bress. The film stars Brenton Thwaites, Theo Rossi, Skylar Astin, Kyle Gallner, and Alan Ritchson. It was released on DirecTV on 18 June 2020. The film is about five American soldiers during World War II who are assigned to guard a French chateau. They soon realize the house is haunted by the vengeful ghosts of a family murdered there by German soldiers. However, the film's plot takes a dramatic twist, revealing that the soldiers are actually modern-day troops in a virtual reality simulation designed to help them cope with a traumatic event they experienced in Afghanistan. The ghosts haunting them are not from the past, but the spirits of the Afghan family they failed to save.
