Review of The Bunker

The Bunker (2001)
8/10
Brilliant. Atmospheric. Tense.
29 July 2005
Although working with a somewhat tried premise Rob Greens directorial debut THE BUNKER was one of the most competently made psychological horror pictures I've seen in quiet some time. The key word here is psychological. It's not your typical one dimensional zombie flick that the US distributors wanted us to believe (just look at the cover) and this to me explains why some posters seem to dislike the flick. They've hired under false pretenses/advertisement and didn't get what they wanted which automatically pisses people off. Brilliantly acted and shot with a real undercurrent of impending doom, I recommend this film to anyone who enjoys films like The Sixth Sense and prefers the drama of horror rather than an over saturation of cheap thrills. Good to see director's next film is Dog Soldiers 2. Let's hope he's just as talented a writer as director. Enjoy.
