The Trench – Das Grauen in Bunker 11 (2017)

The Trench – Das Grauen in Bunker 11: Directed by Leo Scherman. With Rossif Sutherland, Robert Stadlober, Charlie Carrick, Shaun Benson. In the final days of WWI, an allied army unit led by a shell-shocked soldier is sent to investigate a mysterious abandoned German facility located deep underground. What they find is fate worse than death.

“Solid, low-budget Canadian movie set in the closing days of WWI. The Germans have a mysterious, abandoned tunnel complex in the Ardennes forest. British military intelligence wants to know whatu0026#39;s in it. But the Americans control the Ardennes and the British lack an experienced u0026#39;tunneler.u0026#39;u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAh, but a Canadian tunneler from Winnipeg is available nearby in France! So, backed by four US infantry, the two British MI officers and the tunneler head off for what will surely will be an easy, carefree mission! Well, no.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe writing is solid throughout, and the direction manages some nice, tense moments of claustrophobic horror. Rossif Sutherland has a nice, offbeat charm as our heroic tunneler. Itu0026#39;s a Canadian movie, so donu0026#39;t be surprised if the tunneler comes across better than his British and American counterparts!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie is as much or more about the horrors human beings are capable of, so be aware that this isnu0026#39;t THE THING IN A TRENCH. There are non-natural horror elements and scenes of graphic violence, but they work within a broader view of the horrors of humanity and its wars.”
