Warning: Spoilers
"Gates to Hell: Underground" is the German release of "Underground." The film opens with a failed "search and destroy lock and load" operation against mole men. Two years later a rave is being held on top of that underground facility. After a fight and a chase we find eight (?) young adults trapped in said facility with the expected meet up of the ugly guy with bad teeth on the cover.

The production didn't shy away from overly impossible graphic scenes, some are mini plot spoilers on the German cover. The generator started up after sitting there for two years, a tribute to Woody Allen's VW scene in "Sleeper" no doubt. Our group of young adults were armed with sticks and knives, certainly superior weapons to the M-14's carried by the sissy army who couldn't kill them. However, our heroes had trouble subduing an octogenarian in a wheel chair with an IV and an eye patch.(Hint: Go in from his blind side.) The film is shot mostly in a dimly lit area with a greenish glow...like the cover.

The production is a straight forward hunt and kill film. No twist. Even when they discovered what the creatures were, it felt like a Scooby-doo moment. Gee, who would ever have thought of that.

Guide: F-word. Sex, No nudity
