Horror and war go hand in hand but there aren't too many horror war films that easily come to mind. That's the niche that Eric Bress aims for with 'Ghosts of War', a haunted house story revolving around five GIs in Nazi-occupied France. Here’s everything you need to know about the project:

Here's the official synopsis from Vertical Entertainment: "Five battle-hardened American soldiers are assigned to hold a French Chateau near the end of World War II.
