Lost Place (2013)

Lost Place: Directed by Thor Klein. With François Goeske, Jytte-Merle Böhrnsen, Pit Bukowski, Josefine Preuß. While on a GPS treasure hunt in the Palatinate forest (Pfaelzerwald), four teenagers come across an abandoned US military radio tower station that once was part of a secret military program with horrible side effects.

“Saw it last night. A better film than some comments would suggest. Following clues in a GPS cache event, four teens find themselves in what appears to be an abandoned military installation. As is typical for these movies, the characters act in obviously stupid ways, and find themselves in deep trouble as the facility wakes up. A clever concept, executed fairly well. Not a horror film, but it generates considerable tension. The characters are believable, and the underlying scientific concepts are close enough to reality to add some paranoiac spice to the mix. Might even be true. The film has good sound recording, but the 3-D adds nothing.”
