Diese ganzen „wir schleichen in dunklen Gebäuden/Gängen etc. herum“-Filme sind im Grunde genommen Billigstheimer und haben außer Dunkelheit meistens nicht viel zu bieten.

Der hier jedoch war eine angenehme Überraschung. Der Mix aus engen Räumen und Orientierungslosigkeit wird äußerst atmosphärisch eingefangen, eingebettet in einem angenehmen Soundtrack samt Soundeffekten und anständigen schauspielerischen Leistungen.

Ein bißchen Schrecken hier, ein wenig Gore dort, und die eine oder andere Gemeinheit sollten dem Krypta-Fan angenehme 80 Minuten bescheren.
Wer jedoch Nazi-Zombiehorden erwartet wird hier sicherlich enttäuscht werden.

Ein Nazi-Untoter samt Nazi-Untoten-Schäferhund machen den Helden der Geschichte das Leben schwer, was aber, wie erwähnt, sehr unterhaltsam ausfällt.

Wer also noch nicht genug von Katakomben & CO hat, kann hier getrost auf PLAY drücken.

Young folks head down into the Paris Catacombs which is never a good idea in a horror movie. The group encounters skinheads, dead ends, claustrophobic situations, and other types of evil deep within the catacombs.

I would've liked to learn a bit more about the main characters as there seemed to be alot left on the table with that group. Also would've liked to learn more about the underground bunker. Deep Fear boasts a competent cast, brisk pacing, decent bloodshed, and a kickass final girl. It's no As Above, So Below but it's another decent subterranean horror flick.

Bloody; brutal; effective; engaging; gory; gruesome; short; thin; underdeveloped; uneven; unpredictable; unrelenting; unsentimental; well-acted; well-crafted; well-shot.

Contagiously claustrophobic, then (but only after a damn long while) walks a fine line of goofy and uncanny that skyrocketed my blood pressure. Fair subterranean euro horror. Might've been better as fear to the unknown, but appeals cavernous, swastika and hellish echoes.

I'm kinda a sucker for catacomb nonsense, this one forgoes the "typical" skulls everywhere beneath the streets and creates more of an underground culture with "cata-philes" exploring untouched areas and bunkers. It's a bit of a slow burn and adds a nazi element to it, with modern 90s skinheads and WWII Era nazis (without giving too much away). It's slightly goofy and maybe a tad bleak at the end. It's a fine time waster.

"Welcome to the catacombs!"

Three students and a guide decide to visit the catacombs below Paris. It's a bloody subterranian horror with lots of surprises and claustrophobic moments. The acting was pretty good and I liked the characters. The camera movements and the lighting was on point and the movie was unpredictable. The catacombs look like the real thing and there's so many different threats everywhere that it's impossible to get bored and makes the movie really fun. Be prepared for some far-fetched stuff though and some Nazi elements.

The story wasn't developed enough and I would of wanted a little more development with our three main characters. I'm left with the feeling like some things weren't said or shown like when Max looks at his friends weirdly. I thought there was more to that but it was never explored. Also some more explanation on the supernatural stuff would of been nice. Apart from that I had a good time!

This is recently added on Shudder under the name 'Bunker 717'. It started okay but got a bit daft. Still watchable though, and I liked the ending.

Well there are Nazi dogs

DEEP FEAR was very middle of the road for me. Intriguing at first with it being set in the 90s with students going into catacombs in Paris. It’s a horror film but doesn’t really pop or say what’s going on until it’s almost over. Bummed. #FantasticFest #FF2022

The 2023 Catch-Up Project

An hour of farting around in underground tunnels with an occasional encounter with neo-Nazis before an encounter with a zombie Nazi. I think.

I don't understand the bit where one of the gang asks another to piss on the neo-Nazi's jacket, nor why I watched this shit to the end.
