Yes another bunker style war horror with the Germans doing experiments again. I guess this is a prelude to the upcoming big budget WWII horror-Overlord. Now remember the Germans are not Nazi's. This is WWI, not II.
This film is well worth a watch, obviously low budget but well made..some reviewers take themselves too serious for me, lots more more films out there worst than this..give it a go..
I only write reviews for movies that I think have been unfairly treated on the reviews here, this is a much better movie than jj abrams overlord which is a similar genre, the casting is great, script is believable, plot is superb, the mid point of the story is abit rushed, but overall I really enjoyed this movie, the German and Canadian lead characters really connect in the latter part of the movie, some reviews talk of budget limitations but I got no sense of that, there is no way this is a 5.5 movie as is its rating on imdb, the story is believable and so well acted, I hope many more horror fans see this movie.
I enjoyed watching this movie. I thought the acting was good, and the cinematography and direction. It kept my interest until the end. However I think the topic is a tired old one with this movie just being one more variation on an age-old plot. Would definitely rent and watch this one for around a dollar or watch it on Netflix or cable
Solid, low-budget Canadian movie set in the closing days of WWI. The Germans have a mysterious, abandoned tunnel complex in the Ardennes forest. British military intelligence wants to know what's in it. But the Americans control the Ardennes and the British lack an experienced 'tunneler.'
Ah, but a Canadian tunneler from Winnipeg is available nearby in France! So, backed by four US infantry, the two British MI officers and the tunneler head off for what will surely will be an easy, carefree mission! Well, no.
The writing is solid throughout, and the direction manages some nice, tense moments of claustrophobic horror. Rossif Sutherland has a nice, offbeat charm as our heroic tunneler. It's a Canadian movie, so don't be surprised if the tunneler comes across better than his British and American counterparts!
The movie is as much or more about the horrors human beings are capable of, so be aware that this isn't THE THING IN A TRENCH. There are non-natural horror elements and scenes of graphic violence, but they work within a broader view of the horrors of humanity and its wars.

- TriviaCaptain Cooper carries a Model 17 Trench Gun, a pump-action shotgun. These weapons were despised and feared by the Germans, who labeled them "inhumane". Cooper is the only soldier with one, adequately showing his brutal disposition.
- GoofsReiner turns on a cylinder record player. A cylinder record player plays a wax cylinder. On a cylinder record player, all the parts needed for reading the record are mounted on an assembly that moves with the record, including the horn. Not only is there no wax cylinder on the record player, the sound is coming out of a horn to the side of it instead of where it should be coming out of: the horn mounted on the assembly.
