Ghosty observations

In a seedy bar in a town ravaged by war, scientist and businessman Hunt (Julian Wadham) hires mercenary and former Royal Marine D.C. (Ray Stevenson) to assemble a crack team of ex-soldiers (Richard Brake, Paul Blair, Enoch Frost, Julian Rivett, and Michael Smiley) to protect him on a dangerous journey into no-man’s land. Their mission is to scope out an old military bunker in Eastern Europe. It should be easy – 48 hours at the most. Lots of cash for little risk. Or so he says…

Once at the outpost, the men make a horrific discovery that turns their mission on its head – the scene of a bloody and gruesome series of experiments, carried out by the SS in reality shifting and reanimation during World War II to create invincible soldiers. (See Die Glocke) Amidst the carnage, they find a survivor (Johnny Meres). wikipedia

In late 1944 the remnants of a platoon of German Panzergrenadiers from the Großdeutschland Division are caught in an Ambush by American troops. In their retreat, they find a bunker, manned by an old man (John Carlisle) and a young boy (Iain McKee). Left to defend the bunker and presuming themselves surrounded by the US forces which ambushed them, they are left by Area Command “to wait until relieved”.

As the night proceeds, strange tunnels are found beneath the bunker and the situation in the bunker becomes increasingly tense. Convinced that the enemy has worked their way into the tunnels, a terrible game of cat and mouse develops. Stalked by shadowy figures, it becomes increasingly unclear where their fantasies end and the danger begins.

As the paranoia builds up, Schenke, (Andrew Tiernan) decides to take the cleansing of traitors and cowards upon himself.
