Sisu
Maybe this was hyped up a bit, in terms of the gore and violence, or I am simply getting more and more numb as I get older, but I didn't find the level of blood and gore in this to be in the league of say Peter Jackson's 1992 classic Dead Alive (original title: Braindead), as was basically implied by many. It's not anywhere near that, but it is just the right amount of violence, and jussssst enough campiness and flashes of dark humor here and there that really pulled this all together for me. It's certainly HEAVILY inspired by Quentin Tarantino (who of course is a very influenced individual himself), specifically Inglourious Basterds and his overall love for spaghetti westerns, so it's hard to say this is all that unique. But it's done really well and with precision, and honestly I would think each and every one of you would enjoy seeing Nazis get their comeuppance, or at least a few of them, so while not GREAT, or as great a rush as many have said, I still definitely recommend for some good revenge vibes in the very least.
