WARNING - POSSIBLE SPOILERS
A small group of panicky German soldiers, on the run from advancing Allied troops, hole up in a bunker that connects with a maze of tunnels with a deep dark secret. Gets off to a great start, followed by super eerie music and scary as hell "come to focus" images during the opening credits, but the big supernatural payoff we all expect never materializes. Also, the German soldier's assumptions about intruders are totally unbelievable and moronic given the facts they had. And why risk patrolling unsafe tunnels, when you've got an easily defendable single entrance leading to your position, protected by steel blast doors? Better than average acting, color and cinematography; great setting, sound and feel; if only they presented the horror as more real than psychological, plus provided more logical motivation for their character's actions and reactions, this could have been a great Nazi ghost story movie. (5 out of 10)
