Review of The Bunker

The Bunker (2001)
3/10
Survey says... horror?

Warning: Spoilers
I read the cover of this movie and thought that it would be a zombie movie, WWII style, a la Day of the Dead. However... this movie swirled around the deep recesses of the darkness in which it was filmed, only to arrive at virtually nothing.

Throughout the movie, the writers attempt some kind of commentary on the evils of Nazi Germany, but seems to focus on very strange, peripheral evils, rather than on some of the big ones.

Aside from all this, there apparently isn't any kind of creature(s) roaming the depths of the bunker, and all the men that die are at each other's hands, thanks to some kind of hallucinogenic gas in the tunnels.

The ending has the feeling of some kind of "trial by fire", the only problem being that we were never really clearly given the emotional struggle of the character(s).

The best part of the movie was the fact that this small platoon of Germans was played by British actors, who didn't even attempt to hide their accents.

Perhaps not a complete was of my life, but I wouldn't recommend it.
