Nazi Undead, or Living Space. When a movie can't make up it's mind on what it should be titled is always a red-flag for me. It had plenty of atmosphere, but lacked any sort of climax. Was it "She...she looks exactly like me"?

I walked away feeling that the surreal was all it really had to offer. The character build up was weak to the point that I only knew who anyone was because I read about it in the films description.

Good luck to anyone that worked on the film, and I hope you continue forward in your respective careers. This film just didn't do it for me though.

This is not suspenseful, this is not a thriller, this is not a horror it is just bad writing that never makes sense if you start watching you will say I might as well and see how this all connects. DON"T it doesn't it is all over the place bad acting awful writing watch anything else watch a cooking show and I hate cooking shows that's how bad this movie is. It's movies like this that I wonder who green lighted it or who actually spent their money on making it ? I guess the thought is if you add the words zombie and Nazis that enough suckers will go to see it so you make a profit barley because as soon as word gets out people will stop going. My good deed for the day is to warn everyone not to watch this awful movie. Note: If this movie was written by two 12 year old kids I would say nice try but stay in school

One of the worst movies I've seen this year. Slow as mollasses, poorly directed. Even more poorly written. It rambles on until you are so bored you can't wait for the Nazi takeover.

Move on. It sucks

I found this title interesting even if others are giving it a bad rap. Overall the film is decent, nealy good. I have to say though the practical effects were really good and the score was great as well. Its worth a watch if you are bored but do not go in with high expectations.

I'm sorry... but the visible fishing line to close the doors really took away any chance of horror or scare from this movie. It was more like Nazi Poltergeist than anything. Also, the consistency of body placement was off throughout. The plot has tons of holes, and they broke their own rules. I can't waste anymore time on this.

The entire production process is a hoax. Steven Spiel? Really? Bio smells fake. From Australia? German sited film made "entirely in Australia." Argh. Do any research beyond "gore", Steven? Exec/ Producer credits are laughable. Idea is terrible and cliche'd beyond words. The nazis, or that they are nazis, has nothing to do with the story. Could be Repubs in Alabama or Dems in Southern Cal. The writing is derivative of every zombie movie ever made. Georgia Chara tries to do something with this tripe, but sows ears can't be made into even plastic coin purse. Can't bring a dead script to life, Gabrielle. Sorry. (Careful of slack jaw acting.) It's awful. Don't waste the breath, energy, or time.

Well there's 80 minutes I'll never get back. Wow, great concept and went no where ... over and over and over again ...

Don't know what these reviews watched but this was interesting and creepy as hell. Usually I can figure out the end to most Horror movies, because of the basic formula they run by but I was very surprised by this one. Proof a big budget doesn't make the movie, it's the passion involved in the creation alot went into this for horror fans it would be ashame to miss out. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.

A home grown psychological horror with mood and atmosphere to spare, debut feature film director Steven Spiel has delivered one of the more unique and unpredictable local offerings in some time.

Based around the old Nazi regime sentiment of Lebensraum (Living Space), being the ideological principle of Nazism that provided justification for the German territorial expansion into East-Central Europe, Spiel's film is not cut from the gore-hound corner of the horror genre (even though there is some standout gore sequences thrown in for good measure) as it instead focuses on creating an ominous and impending sense of dread as college sweethearts Brad and Ashley experience a German road trip they'd rather forget.

Living Space sees its central couple looking to get the most out of their time in Germany and Georgia Chara's Ashley and Leigh Scully's Brad make for a solid narrative foundation as things start to take a turn for the worse when their hire car breaks down and the enter into a house that proves anything but welcoming.

From a seemingly simple set-up, Spiel takes his story to some frightening and often unseen pathways as our couple get drawn into some nightmarish like Nazi-filled Groundhog Day, culminating in some neatly attuned twists and turns that keep the viewers guessing right until the end.

It's an impressive low-budget effort that suggests Spiel is a filmmaker with some genuinely unique visions and an abundance of ideas and while not everything within Living Space feels like smooth sailing, Spiel's ability to conjure up a high number of chills and thrills within the films brisk 80 minute runtime is a noteworthy feat, while Living Space's basing around real life horrors and beliefs gives it a sense of meaning that is often not to be found in similar such affairs.

Final Say -

A fresh and original horror trip that's likely to appeal to both local and international horror fans, Living Space is a psychological horror with a difference and while there are prevalent and to be expected drawbacks of such an independent offering, Spiel's Nazi-filled treat will crawl under your skin and stay there, making Living Space a highly impressive debut offering from the young director.

Can't believe how awful this movie was. Just downright terrible movie! Don't waste your time watching this garbage.

I successfully managed to be on my phone texting, playing a game, and reading other user reviews while this was on. Hell, at one point I left the house because I didn't even realize it was still on. That's how awful and boring of a movie this is. Don't waste your time unless you need noise to fall asleep.

I love a good Zombie movie, heck ill watch a bad Zombie movie, but this 1 Ugh! Confusion and a predictable ending!

And of course the main one is that this is a truly hideous production.

For a start it is terribly lit. Potential viewers (and I hope there are not too many of you) be prepared for a lot of squinting into many a blackish/near dark scene.

Our two protagonists, Brad and Ash (Why couldn't she have been called the more appropriate, Janet?) are completely unsympathetic from the outset. They speak in solitary sentences with bizarrely long pregnant pauses in between, as if one another keep forgetting their lines and are waiting for the other character to prompt them. And again, how many times do we hear the defiantly non - heroic Ash whine annoyingly, "What are we going to do Brad?" I honestly answered not too long into this train wreck, " I don't really care Ash.

The narrative just doesn't flow at all, even allowing for the fact that (hardly a spoiler) there are time loops involved. There are no smooth transitions between scenes. And the little dialogue there is, as inferred previously, is just of a risible quality.

Let me just be brief and summarise: This is a ghost movie without the slightest degree of suspense or dread and at the same time a wannabe torture porn film without shocks.

As for the third act "twist" (LOL!), well let's just say Blind Freddie would have seen it on the horizon from miles away.

Finally, the director ... Steven Spiel ??? Is he really serious, or just trying for some sort of in joke/homage to the great Steven Spielberg? If there is any doubt on the part of any one about this, his ahem ... debut feature. No, Living Space unfortunately, doesn't reach anywhere near the quality of Duel's (Spielberg's debut) out takes.

Move over Speed 2, because you've been replaced at the top of my Worst Movies Ever list. The characters are thoroughly unlikable, the acting annoying, and for a 80 minute movie it seemed to go on forever. I generally enjoy bad movies but apparently I have my limits.

A lot of walking around to suspenseful sound. This is not a spoiler, but the woman running for the car is coming from the wrong direction. Stuff like that. No motivation, no reason, no sense. This is not a spoiler: who was running the 8mm camera? Who write this stupid dialog? Why? Why? Why?

This could have been as good as overlord, but despite of the concept and the story being good, they made it with a low budget and B-gradish, with below average sound quality almost zero bass, the acting wasn't effective at all, immature actors. Over all a below average film, which has a good potential and could have been a big horror flick... sad

This is a cool little movie about a girl and his boyfriend being lost in the middle of nowhere. In the search for a shelter they realise that they are in a haunted house. It is that same old approach which depicts a young girl starring an horror movie. What is different here is that they manage to do much with a cash shortage. I mean no bug studios behind this one. The movie begins where a teenage comedy ended, or at least it looked like it. Then the plot unfolds. Of course, it is a narrow plot in a short movie with a shortage of cast, but the psychedelic horror really does the trick in this one. Sometimes it just looked like a really old mute movie.
