Trench 11

I've watched some truly awful horror movies with the same IMD rating as this one. I'm baffled by the IMD rating for this film. Obviously it's not going to be a blockbuster high budget movie, but ? ... The atmosphere was great, story was simple but good, characters believable and well acted (surprisingly so), loved the setting of WWI, well paced, good tension, nice set and period details. Felt wonderfully claustrophobic at times, some nice scares, a love-to-hate him bad guy. Not a cliched 'evil Germans' movie. Just, well, an enjoyable movie. I actually cared about the characters and how the story turned out, which is often not the case with many horror/sci fi movies for me - and it felt oddly fresh for a somewhat generic sounding horror movie... maybe because it felt honest, and no jump scares or annoying characters, and those sort of cliches.

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 what's in it. But the Americans control the Ardennes and the British lack an experienced 'tunneler.'

Ah, 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.

The 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. It's a Canadian movie, so don't be surprised if the tunneler comes across better than his British and American counterparts!

The movie is as much or more about the horrors human beings are capable of, so be aware that this isn'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.

Yes another bunker style war horror with the Germans doing experiments again. I guess this is a prelude to the upcoming big budget WWII horror-Overlord. Now remember the Germans are not Nazi's. This is WWI, not II.

I only write reviews for movies that I think have been unfairly treated on the reviews here, this is a much better movie than jj abrams overlord which is a similar genre, the casting is great, script is believable, plot is superb, the mid point of the story is abit rushed, but overall I really enjoyed this movie, the German and Canadian lead characters really connect in the latter part of the movie, some reviews talk of budget limitations but I got no sense of that, there is no way this is a 5.5 movie as is its rating on imdb, the story is believable and so well acted, I hope many more horror fans see this movie.

The setting and premise for this film was very good. It takes a few factual liberties and the anti German approach. One such approach is that the Germans used gas and allies didn't. This is a complete lie, the allies used even more gas attacks against the German army. (moan over) The action is pretty decent with the effects being alittle under par. My biggest problem with the film is it very plot contrived. Action only happens to seemingly benefit the plot it just doesn't feel fluid. Overall its not a bad movie but just holds its self back from being alittle action packed gem.
