YouHeart I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Platypuschow Rammbock otherwise known as Berlin Dead and Siege Of The Dead is a German zombie movie which tells the very generic story of the beginning of a zombie outbreak but does it competently enough to be passable.It follows two strangers who are forced to barricade themselves inside a block of flats and try to survive. Basically your usual tropes so don't expect anything original here.It plays the realistic angle and reminded me of the 28 Days Later (2002) movies despite these actually being zombies.It looks okay, the characters are passable but it's so unoriginal it made my balls rattle. It really is paint by numbers stuff so if you like generic zombie films this may very well be what you're looking for. Sadly after countless zombie epics including the more recent Train To Busan (2016) and Wyrmwood (2014) I do find myself expecting more.The Good:Realistic approachGenerally passable stuffThe Bad:No originality at allLead bounces from annoying to patheticThings I Learnt From This Movie:Bent fork heads don't make the best projectilesFork desecration is a womans primary concern during a zombie apocalypse

the_teapot What I always appreciate in any film, but especially one in the zombie genre (because it is so rare), are believable characters. Characters whose actions are logical, even in bizarre situations. And I always appreciate a writer's ability to develop a dramatic plot without relying on characters' moronic decisions to stir trouble. This is seen too rarely in this genre.For anyone wondering whether this is their kind of zombie film, I'll try to knock up a short summary with no spoilers. :) The plot of Rammbock takes you to the very start of the zombie virus outbreak, it begins while the world is still "normal". When it happens, it happens very suddenly. What follows is of course shock and confusion and the horror of not knowing what is going on, then the subsequent eeriness of witnessing the society dissipate through loss of public communication channels, following which the characters must come to terms with the weight of the situation, and shift their usual priorities and inhibitions to bare survival.You are taken through this process with the protagonists, witnessing the first few days of the outbreak and the fragile survival of people trapped in a residential building in the middle of Berlin, surrounded by hordes of the violent infected. Although the director decided not to reveal much about anyone's background and past, this doesn't stop you from empathising and gradually growing fond of them. At no point are any (uninfected) characters polarised or dehumanised, even the nameless ones.This is the type of zombie film with no over-the-top violence and very little gore, the accent is on eeriness and tension, rather than action and special effects.I would say that as far as the zombie apocalypse topic goes, this is one of the more realistic portrayals of how it would look for someone in Europe.If you liked 28 Days Later or Rec, you will almost certainly like this one. If you're more of a Resident Evil type of person, maybe skip it.

atinder This is so know as Siege Of The Dead (2010) is a low budget infected movie from Germany.I did not expect much from this at all but turn out to be surprising good. Michael as come to see his girlfriend in Berlin but then he finds out that people have been infected by this unknown virus. This is only 59 minutes long, just under an hour, this movie was really fast paced and some really good decent tense moment as well.The infected were really welled acted and liked the whole foaming thing from there mouth.This movie wasn't really thag gory at all, the bite moment that looked nasty but nothing other zombies/infected movies. I really liked the idea of flashes from the camera, that was nice turn for the infected, Which had fresh feel to these kinda of movies.There was a few surprising moments, that I didn't see coming at all,I really liked that scene. Great acting from the whole but I not sure what to make of the infected hugging Scenes, I am giving this movie 8 out of 10

theothermartintaylor-fac Imagine Rear Window meets 28 Days Later, in German and only 1hr and 1minute long ... I know it sound surreal and I know it sounds like wouldn't work but it does. The most thoughtful Zombie movie I've seen. Our protagonist is everyman Michael, an everyday character you only find in European movies. The production is missing that mainstream glamor and is better for it: the actors don't look like actors with dirt rubbed in their clothes and on their faces, they look and behave like real people in extraordinary circumstances. They make stupid mistakes but they aren't in a rush to die. The story is similarly small in scope although you are aware of the bigger situation without being shown much more than broad landscapes. Beyond the realism the film explores love in a non-hokey way: new, established and broken relationships and what normal people will do for the people they love. Hollywood would screw it up so I hope it doesn't get re-made - just muscle through the subtitles and see it as it's just about perfect as it is.
