Trench 11

Trench 11 borrows from films like The Bunker and mixes in elements of the TV series The Strain, in a WWI setting.

The best thing you can say about this upper end of the budgetary spectrum B grade film its is competently done. The sets are good, the special effects good and the acting is, well, good.

Sadly there is nothing that makes this film "great" or even a little special. Don't be surprised therefore, if a month or so from now you can't remember the title or much more than the general outline of the story. A watchable but forgettable rating of 6/10 from me.

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.

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'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.

I enjoyed watching this movie. I thought the acting was good, and the cinematography and direction. It kept my interest until the end. However I think the topic is a tired old one with this movie just being one more variation on an age-old plot. Would definitely rent and watch this one for around a dollar or watch it on Netflix or cable
