Tank 432 (2015)
With nowhere else to hide, a group of mercenaries and their prisoners take cover inside a long abandoned Bulldog tank. But, while they try to keep the forces outside at bay, the real enemy is already among them, locked inside the 'Belly of the Bulldog'.

Weird movie and scary , I did not understand the meaning of the movie but I liked the action of this movie and horror of it
What possesses someone to make a movie like this? I have to think it was someone's burning desire to make their script into a film, but this film? This script? Why would you want to make this? This film is choppy, leans towards something that could've been interesting, but never fully goes there. Just a long, boring movie. A bunch of bad acting, not because they're bad actors either, the dialogue is terrible, they're just doing their best with it - and a lot of run-around up to an ending that you think it can't possibly be over now, nothing has happened?! But it is. So bad. I almost never bother to review movies, but something this awful I had to warn others before it's too late for them too. Spare yourself the 88 minutes of god-awful cinema, it's not even worth watching to make fun of. It's just really boring.
TANK 432 is one of those low budget British horror flicks with little explanation or reason behind it. The story opens in the middle of action as a squad of soldiers are pursued (in the present day) by enemies unknown. Through various stupidities of the story, they take prisoners and hole up inside a tank (actually a large personnel carrier) before finding themselves trapped inside. The amateurish script really lets the movie down, offering across the board unpleasant characters, some quality actors (Rupert Evans, Michael Smiley) unable to do anything with their one-dimensional roles, and dialogue which merely consists of characters repeatedly shouting "what the f is going on?" over and over again. The horrors are left unseen and there are a few violent moments, but nothing that qualifies this as a proper horror movie; just an exercise in tedium, much like A FIELD IN ENGLAND with which this has a few similarities (perhaps A TANK IN A FIELD IN ENGLAND would be a better description). After seeing him in this, THE GHOUL, and PREVENGE, I'm beginning to think that the presence of Tom Meeten in the cast is the kiss of death for any movie.
Obviously, a low budget, but that a bad film does not make. The direction and acting are not bad at all and actually have some very effective sequences, but they are loaded in the movie's first half. It's the script that is the culprit and it almost seems like the screenwriter ran out of ideas or time or something.Don't be fooled by the first 30 minutes, which are ferocious, dynamic, mysterious and very promising. Sadly, it goes downhill very rapidly and does not recover, descending into paralysis and repetition. The ending is totally disappointing.
