Rammbock: Berlin Undead Trailers

When lovelorn Michael arrives in Berlin to return a set of keys to his ex-girlfriend, Gabi, as an excuse to see her again, he finds her apartment empty save for a couple of plumbers making repairs to the central heating. Just as Michael learns from the plumber’s apprentice, Harper, that Gabi has popped out for a while but will return soon, the apprentice is attacked by his boss who has unexpectedly and inexplicably transformed into a raging madman. Together, Michael and Harper manage to bundle the crazed plumber out of the apartment and barricade themselves safely inside. Within minutes, they find themselves trapped in apartment block under siege from a horde of similarly insane people, apparently hungry for human flesh.

Lack of good storyline.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

In a sort of 28 Days Later meets Rabid fashion, Rammbock is a film about a zombie outbreak that randomly occurs in Berlin. Just as a man named Michael has returned to give a set of keys back to his old girlfriend.Now, he is holed up in her apartment, with another young man named Harper.There are a few other people in the complex as well, and they can speak to one another from their balconies.Turns out, that if you are bitten, you can ward off the illness, if you can refrain from getting an adrenaline rush. Though, that might be easier said than done under the circumstances.Either way, the two men must hatch a plan to escape the room they are trapped in- because they have no food to eat.So they fashion together a makeshift battering ram, and go right through one of the walls.During this ordeal, they get separated- with one ending up on the roof, and the other stuck in the neighbour's kitchen.Though, this does allow Harper to discover that a flash of bright light (like from a camera flash) temporarily blinds the zombies.Thus, they hatch a plan to escape once and for all...but...will all of them be able to make it? The ending is clearly inspired by Cronenberg's Rabid- though, in a slightly different way. This isn't a bad little zombie flick. It's relatively short at approximately an hour. And it did, seemingly, go on to inspire a spin off television series. So, there's that. But it was still pretty simple overall...and left me a bit unfulfilled.Nice effort though. 4.5 out of 10.

part zombie movie and part love story, this tells the tale of Michael, who goes to Berlin to return his ex girlfriends keys, in the hope he can convince her to reconcile.unfortunately for Michael, his trip coincides with a virus outbreak that turns its victims into bloodthirsty homicidal maniacs. although the infected are of the fast moving 28 Days Later variety, there are a few interesting ideas here that set this apart from the usual zombie flick.the infected can be held at bay by the flash from a camera due to the fact they are photosensitive, plus, the virus itself can be held off by sedating yourself until the body's own immune system eliminates it altogether.admittedly the movie is rather short at 63 mins and some of the acting and dialogue is terrible, but these are minor quibbles, and i'm left to wonder what the makers could have done with more time and a better budget to play with.

I enjoy many horror movies however, the zombie genre is far beyond overused. I applaud the efforts to bring a different twist however it ultimately fails because it is so uneven, and the characters do not react as someone in a survival situation. This is not 'blast'em and run' this is 'These zombies used to be our loved ones, don't hurt them', which is OK, however I doubt you'd embrace someone attempting to bite you or tear you limb from limb regardless of who they are. The zombie reactions are inconsistent, sometimes swarming to loud noises, sometimes to the slightest tap but not always, so which is it? The main protagonist is extremely wimpy and just plain weird and definitely not funny. I couldn't find any humor in this very short movie, but perhaps it was lost in translation. Recommend only to those attempting to see every zombie ever made, regardless of entertainment value.

I always thought that a low budget zombie movie should be a lot better than the big block busters. Maybe set in my home country of Romania, where guns are rarely allowed and even cops don't carry them much, the story would gain a lot of power and the ingenuity of the people would be brought into view.Rammbock is exactly the kind of film I was thinking about: set in Berlin, the Eastern side I guess, with extraordinarily ordinary people getting caught by the zombie epidemic in a banal building block. Complex story, a few people, authentic reactions.I am sure the makers of the movie realized that the true force of the movie is in the obvious of the lowbudgetness, and so they didn't even conform to the length standards of regular movies: it all lasts just an hour, more akin to an episode of something.Bottom line: it is hard to identify with any of the people in the film, simply because they are so ordinary and like normal persons that we refuse to. I watched the movie with English dubbing, which I hated, but I couldn't find the German version. The zombie story was not developed in any way: we don't know how it happened, why or how to stop it. In the end, the true lead character is the story. I liked the film and I would recommend it to viewers of zombie movies.
