Bunker of the Dead Storyline
In the picturesque Bavarian town of Oberammergau, two friends, Markus and Thomas, are using the instructions found in an old Jewish diary to gain access to a WW II underground military base formerly codenamed: CERUSIT. Used by the Nazis as a secret research institute, there are shrouded rumors to this day about the lost gold of the Third Reich. The entrance to the cave system, however, lies right within the restricted area of a U.S. military base.. the first of many problems Markus and Thomas will have to face. Equipped only with a two-way-radio and a 3D camera, Markus penetrates the restricted area and manages to locate the entrance to the underground facility and later, the secret base. But what Markus does not know is that through his efforts, he has not only drawn the attention of the US Military.. but something else that has managed to survive in exile for over 70 years without luxuries… especially food. For Markus, it has now become race of life and death.
Found footage are not easy to kill. They are indeed a bit like zombies one may say. So why not combine them then? Depending on your thresshold and your ability to keep it together when you see a movie that runs almost 80 minutes and all of it being found footage … not an easy task. Although it’s not always “shaky cam” throughout to be fair.
Also consider this being a low budget german horror movie. There are things you have to take into account – or rather into your rating if you can dig them. So as someone else already stated, this is far from a masterpiece, but there have been worse movies too. Special effects are ok – that’s at least something. Especially again considering the budget this was made on. Not everyones cup of tea – but those who like it, will enjoy it more than I gave it credit for

POV NAZI ZOMBIES!!!
OK…this film isn’t a MASTERPIECE…but it really isn’t THAT BAD either. It’s funny at times,and I’ve seen much MUCH worse acting in other “B grade” zombie movies. Don’t get me wrong,the acting isn’t GREAT but going into this you KNOW you’re not going to get Oscar winning performances. If you’re a gamer,or even are a fan of “Hardcore Henry” you MAY enjoy this little zombie romp. On the PLUS side,it has a fairly short runtime because ANY more would have been TOO MUCH. Overall…I liked it.

If you haven’t figured it out this is a found footage Nazi zombie film. Using a diary they got on E-Bay, Markus (Patrick Jahns) and Thomas (Aciel Martinez Pol) set out to find hidden Nazi gold at a secret facility. Markus encounters Nazi zombies and the US military. The filming is done in annoying “first person” for realism like “Hardcore Henry.” The camera jerks around and we get a cheap inferior product whose viewing quality is not worth watching. On the plus side, the zombies show up just 20 minutes into the film.
