As the Allies close in around the Nazis, pounding them with relentless air strikes, a band of Germans takes refuge from the onslaught in a concrete bunker deep in the Black Forest. Long-forgotten tunnels extend from the bunker, further into the wilderness. Shell-shocked and exhausted, the survivors argue about provisions and strategies during a lull in fighting. As they slip into sleep, the horrors, murders, and plagues that rocked Europe for centuries seep into their souls. When the next wave of attacks threatens to blow them to smithereens, the war-weary group ventures deeper and deeper into the tunnels as they combat fear and insanity. Jason Flemyng, Charley Boorman, and Andrew Lee Potts star in this film which was screened at the 2001 Toronto Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Brian Mckay, eFilmCritic.com
While The Bunker is never outright scary, it definitely has its fair share of moments that are creepy and unnerving.

Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
Call it "Saving Private Ryan" meets "The Amityville Horror" or "Platoon" meets "Session 9."

Mark R. Leeper, rec.arts.movies.reviews
The film offers more mayhem than suspense and does not really work beyond the "something scary in the dark" level.
