Plot SynopsisThe movie is set during the last phase of World War II, someplace near the German-Belgian border. A group of 7 hard-bitten Wehrmacht soldiers retreat notably disarrayed and tired from the frontlines into an isolated, partially destroyed concrete bunker. As the Allies draw ever nearer, the currently tense situation inside the bunker becomes increasingly paranoia-ridden, with mistrust growing amongst the group.
The bunker seems to house dark tricks - a prohibited back door that allegedly causes a series of disused and sealed tunnels. These tunnels, based on an old grizzled veteran, were not just a battlefield during the very first World War, but also saw the grim and brutal massacre of deserting German soldiers by their own kin. The old soldier extremely presumes these tunnels to be haunted by the slain troops, a thought enough to shiver anyone's spinal column.
Deepening Paranoia and Unearthed SecretsAs the motion picture advances, the soldiers' preliminary internal disputes escalate into physical battles, fired up by fear and paranoia of the approaching opponent, in addition to the surreal incidents inside the bunker. The fear is further amplified when the guys come across an innocent-looking young boy who they believe is a German deserter.
Also, the men begin to pick up disturbing motions in the bunker, leading them to think that the old war veteran was right. The feared apparitions become a scary reality as the guys start experiencing ghostly figures of slain soldiers who start assaulting them.
Climax and ResolutionIn a bid to conserve themselves, the males choose to venture into the prohibited tunnels, wanting to avert the fatal apparitions. This decision just spreads the group further into the darkness where each male is required to face his inmost worry and regret. The guys slowly succumb to insanity, facing heated exchanges, violent arguments, and harsh deaths. The suspense-filled narrative spirals into reality-bending scenes filled with blood, paranoia, and chills up until the last guy fulfills his fate under the scary of The Bunker.
In the end, the survivors of the seven are shown to be caught in a vicious time loop, destined repeat their fate for eternity. This incredible end provides the movie a cooling closure, leaving the audience entrenched in deep discomfort and fear.
