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.

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.
Got enticed into seeing this film after watching the trailer n found it to b a decent one time watch.
Fans of Outpost, Blood creek, Deathwatch, may like this low budget film.
As a fan of horror films set during the world war, especially dealing with the nazi occult n nazi experiments, i enjoyed this film. Much better than ur regular zombie/virus film.
Considering the budget, the movie has only a few zombie n gun shot violence scenes but brutal.
There is tension and a sense of dread throughout. The actors acted well n the best part is the music.
This film is well worth a watch, obviously low budget but well made..some reviewers take themselves too serious for me, lots more more films out there worst than this..give it a go..
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.

- TriviaCaptain Cooper carries a Model 17 Trench Gun, a pump-action shotgun. These weapons were despised and feared by the Germans, who labeled them "inhumane". Cooper is the only soldier with one, adequately showing his brutal disposition.
- GoofsReiner turns on a cylinder record player. A cylinder record player plays a wax cylinder. On a cylinder record player, all the parts needed for reading the record are mounted on an assembly that moves with the record, including the horn. Not only is there no wax cylinder on the record player, the sound is coming out of a horn to the side of it instead of where it should be coming out of: the horn mounted on the assembly.
