I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This movie deserves much more then a 5.2 rating on IMDb. I'm not saying that you will get great dialogs or deep conversations and that's not the point. This is a horror/thriller and so you don't need that. The only thing you need with a horror/thriller is suspense, creepy background sounds, a nasty villain, a lot of screaming and blood. And all that you will get with this movie. The actors were not bad at all, especially the German subterranean psycho played by Klaus Stiglmeier. You will need subtitles for this movie because at the end there is quite a lot of German language. I thought the underground sceneries were perfect for this movie so that you would get the feeling that there is no escape from that weirdo. Great entertainment if you like that kind of movies. Certainly much better then the usual stuff we get in that genre.

Not much to add to the title - that's just the way it is. The enactment/staging of the movie is - in my opinion - kinda great, good actors, nice lighting, o.k. camera handling. But now the missing 6 stars - this is partly based on my taste and partly the director's fault.First of all, I'm not a fan of horror, "torture-porn", gore and such at all, I watched this movie rather "accidentally". Well, there are great horror movies, this one is set in my home town and I'm interested in that exploring stuff, so I gave it a try. Unfortunately, this movie degrades itself to a C-title due to the use of these worn-out, standardized, boring, predictable default clichés like: Why do these people act so stupid? Why don't they kill him securely as they have the chance? Why are they so incredibly unskillful and overwhelmed in every situation? -.- It's a pain in the *** watching this over and over again. Can't directors come up with good horror ideas that are NOT based on these defaults?The second major problem is the actual lack of a story. There are basic approaches, but nothing really fits. This might be typical for the genre - well, this is mainly the reason I don't like these movies. But if there is a psychotic killer, a good movie can skillfully show why and with what reason he does this stuff. This is hardly explained here, maybe some traumatizing-history-psycho-stuff, but nothing justifying such a behavior. The end scenes let the viewer wait for some kind of twist, but nothing happens. The psycho is the almighty bad boy and prepared for everything, so not even 5 or more people stand a chance against him. Of course. And let me tell you: Berlin underground stations are not THAT empty at night, for sure not.The logical consequence - if the exploration leader survives, which is not exactly shown - would be a special forces operation into the villain's underground base (I'd like to see that as an epilogue ^^). But this is left open like every bit of... reason in this movie. Kinda sad because the acting, lighting and stuff, like mentioned, is really well done.Let me add that the lack of subtitles in the version I watched was more positive than negative for me as I speak English and German fluently. This gives the movie a nice realistic touch.

German horror do normally means splatter but this here isn't your typical German splatter, in fact, it is a really slow builder. It takes a while before the horror comes in but that didn't bother me because you know something will go wrong only when, that's the question.When things go wrong it really goes wrong and it even isn't for the squeamish. What I did like was the fact that there weren't any heroes. You just couldn't predict who was going to survive. Only the end was a bit strange, clearly an open end but suddenly this flick was over. If you like flicks taking place in the dark with a twist then this is for you but don't expect a gore galore. Gore 2,5/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 3/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

I loved it and hated it at the same time to be honest. I loved it because I am biased in favour (yes, I am British and spell it this way) of Movies set in underground locations so this was a 'must watch' for me although I am not usually a fan of slasher/hunter style horror. This Movie is, as some as pointed out, not exactly 'original', show me a Horror Movie made in the last decade that IS 'original'? However, the film plot runs at a good pace, has an interesting story and lots of gore (one scene of which was too much for me to stomach despite having seen all the Hostel and Saw Movies without flinching....much). I hated it because of the total predictability of the main male character failing to finish off the bad guy when he had the opportunity (not listed this as a spoiler because it's pretty much a given with a Movie like this), the female character could have done the job herself here but she, also, failed to do so (no surprise there) but this is par for the course with most horror flicks so c'est la vie! This Movie is most certainly worth a viewing, it is no masterpiece but it is miles better than most of the crud available at the moment.
