Hired to escort an engineer into war torn Eastern-Europe to survey a specific section of land for an unknown client, a team of seasoned mercenaries expect nothing more than a routine mission. What the mercenaries discover is anything but routine when they end up at an abandoned German Bunker from World War II. Upon entering the structure the men discover the gruesome remains of Nazi experiments and come face to face with an enemy that turns the mission into a fight for survival.
This is a small budget horror film that delivers a decent story without relying on high tech CGI, excessive gore and adding continuous streams of bad dialogue. With a cast consisting of relatively unfamiliar faces, Ray Stevenson and Richard Brake being the exceptions, it was a nice change compared to seeing the same Hollywood big names reprising similar roles they have played numerous times before.
Shot using a good mix of shadows, confined spaces and varied lighting this film did a nice job of creating an eerie claustrophobic atmosphere. It bought to mind another small budget horror film titled Dog Soldiers which is also worth a viewing. Slightly reminiscent of a story from a late night episode of the Twilight Zone this is a good watch for a super natural themed horror film.
