Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Michael Ledo Originally released under the title "Urban Explorers."Four foreigners hire a tour guide (Max Riemelt) to explore the tunnels and bunkers under the city of Berlin. Things don't go as planned as one might surmise from the cover and the title.The underground aspect of the film was interesting. The capture, fight, and torture doesn't start until late in the film. While it was gory, the plot was light, formulaic, and the bad guy was incomplete. The meaning between the various tales and the bunker with our torturer didn't connect too well.Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex, or nudity (one nude painting).
The Couchpotatoes This movie deserves much more then a 5.2 rating on IMDb. I'm not saying that you will get great dialogs or deep conversations and that's not the point. This is a horror/thriller and so you don't need that. The only thing you need with a horror/thriller is suspense, creepy background sounds, a nasty villain, a lot of screaming and blood. And all that you will get with this movie. The actors were not bad at all, especially the German subterranean psycho played by Klaus Stiglmeier. You will need subtitles for this movie because at the end there is quite a lot of German language. I thought the underground sceneries were perfect for this movie so that you would get the feeling that there is no escape from that weirdo. Great entertainment if you like that kind of movies. Certainly much better then the usual stuff we get in that genre.
Aaron River OK, Well I was really looking forward to watching this film based on the reviews I had read 'mainly on here, but i have to be honest I found my self sorely disappointed! For starters There's absolutely NO explanation as to why 4 complete strangers (only two of whom actually know each other, 'Lucia' played by Nathalie Kelley, & 'Denis' played by Nick Eversman, who are couple), led by a 5th person 'Kris' the guide played by Max Riemelt, would be meeting up in a dark car park outside of a dodgy Berlin night club in the middle of the night. To go "Urban Exploring" (Wearing there best clothes I might add, to trek through open sewers' & old deserted subways from the Third Reich.I assume it's because they'd planned to end the night in the club. Which I can only assume would end with every one in there giving them a wide berth. And who would blame them? After spending 3 hours walking through a dark, dirty, smelly rat infested subterranean maze, you have to assume you're going to smell a little funky!Secondly I really, really don't know why you wouldn't turn back after getting attacked in the first 5 min's down there by two pit bull wielding, probably "Neo Nazi" skinheads lurking about in the dark! ( I certainly wouldn't take my beautiful looking GF down there to get Gang raped, chopped up or both! (just saying! 'Warning signs.) If all that wasn't enough to make you wonder what sort of geniuses your watching, one of the girls decides the best time to take a photo of the only person down there that knows where he's going is right at the point he's walking across a , rather unsafe "bridge" (a bridge meaning a slim piece of steel girder slung across a wide gap, spanning a high drop) resulting, obviously to anyone with half an idea about human reactions, in him getting blinded /startled and falling in said gap with rather (again) obvious consequences.Jump forward about 20 min's and welcome to the fun house! we have a drugged and tied up BF, and a GF tied to a chair while being tortured by "A psycho" (cliché) now the said BF has to escape, over power the "psycho", free his GF, and hope he can find there way out of the deep, dark, hell that they have found there selves in. Should be easy right? Well not really, but it could of been a whole lot simpler if 'Lucia' (Nathalie Kelley) had chosen to go out with Ethan Hunt, or anyone with half a brain and a working set of balls between his legs! Which 'Denis' (Nick Eversman) clearly doesn't have. He could of,' I kid you not, walked out of there at least 3 times with nothing worse than a little cut to his GF ear, called the police and had the psycho locked away in a mental facility for the rest of his deranged little life! Instead he chose (which is lucky for us i guess, or really wouldn't be worth watching) to do everything you DON'T do in a horror film. You know like telling your mates I'll be right back or going back in to the house after you've just got out! Well needless to say I found my self shouting at the TV for most of the second half of the film! I never found out how or what exactly happened to the other two girls either. other than ending up part of the stew. I think they were just in the film for the lesbian kiss (actually more a lesbian peck on the lips) And please will some tell me how some one can be a psycho killer one minute and then don an apron and start mopping up floors & walls ,with a full cleaning trolley' in the middle of a open subway platforms the next! And right in the heart of Berlin (where's all the CCTV?) To many questions, not enough answers, not enough realism and far to many obvious wrong moves by the boy, unlike the killer who always seemed to be in the right place at the right time, even when one gets away and finds help after running for over a mile through tunnels and down holes!! worth a watch for the bloody bits not much else. 3/5
sofaqueen I was astonished by how intrigued I was with the story, and how invested I became in the well-being of the characters. This is a tough film to watch, and is only going to appeal to those who enjoy a good slasher flick. With that said, in spite of the rather derivative material, and a few plot holes, it's wicked good stuff. It's not a film I would watch again. It was hard to take! But it kept me on the edge of my seat, and rooting for the good guys. I was utterly terrified of the bad guy. I have always been willing to suspend disbelief for a chance to escape into an alternate universe for ninety minutes Once you get to the end of the ride, you will be relieved to get out and return to the real world. Unless you live in hell. The villain haunts my nightmares to this day. I'd like to see him on you tube or in an interview, being himself just once. He's that convincing and upsetting. I had to repeat "it's only a movie" at several points in this journey. Sometimes, that's all you really want from a film. To briefly forget that it's not real. I lost my sense of time and place, and felt like I was witnessing a crime. So while this movie carries no message beyond stranger danger, and may not deviate from the formula, it follows the formula with style, it packs a powerful punch in the gut, it does what we expect from a film like this, and does it better than most. The acting and production values surely set it apart from the others in this genre.You will be horrified, to be sure. Not for the faint of heart. I gave it six stars for lack of originality (plot). A great effort, a weak plot. Worth at least one trip to the horror section, if you enjoy these "slasher" films.
