David Roggenkamp College kids on vacation in Germany decide to do some thrill seeking. They do this by enlisting a tour guide that takes them underground through the various tunnels built during the time of Nazi Germany. The movie sounds strangely like something out of "So far Above, As Below". However, the premise is slightly different as it follows along the lines of Hostel. Some foreshadowing leads the audience into a sense of false belief as to what will happen and the movie plays out nicely to effect. The entire movie was no surprise once all was revealed; but I couldn't help but be left with wondering if there shouldn't have been more or if the movie shouldn't have been longer. I recommend the movie to those that like the "Saw" and "Hostel" series; otherwise the gore may be a bit too much.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/? p=8025).

Christine_Plymouth_Fury1958 A lot of reviews said they gave it a lower rating than they would have because the movie did not have subtitles, but the one I watched did, so don't be put off from seeing it, since it's a film horror fans wouldn't want to miss. It reminds me a bit of Wolf Creek, except for the contrast in setting, obviously.The male protagonist of the story would irritate you to no end on the choices he makes, but you might find yourself rooting for him, all the same. One female, the one with the camera, will make you want to push her in a ravine on one scene, because their unfortunate circumstances started due to her utter stupidity. Just had to get that off my chest. Heh.I must say, you'd think, in the beginning of the film, that the villain would be different, but as the film progresses, it will prove you wrong. He actually surprised me by his evil-ness, although the torture scenes were not as bad as what I've seen in other gore-themed movies. And I actually liked that they toned it down a notch and didn't make it out to be like another Saw or Hostel movie. I'm not much of a fan of those, though I have seen my share.The characters will make you go bald from pulling your hair from its roots,because you're frustrated as **** with the choices they make. It won't make you stop from sitting at the edge of your seats though. You'll be able to watch this to the end, because it's the kind of movie that compels you to do so, even if you know it might not be categorized into the same level as some of the greats.Watch it. It's worth your time, especially for a true horror fan.

Scudpipes This film is complete and utter scheiss-water - the horrible jittery camera-work, the blundering script, and the horribly unlikeable characters... it was completely fright-free, and involved the usual crapola of the 'hero' being given countless opportunities to kill off the villain, but, of course, he doesn't, so that by the time the hero is skinned alive you are cheering, because he is such a dumb cluck... the film starts by telling us how many miles of undiscovered tunnels there are beneath Berlin, then proceeds to shoot scenes that look like an Ikea store room. Urban Explorer ADDS nothing the genre - in fact, it detracts from it... the more that films like this get made, the more it negates the horror genre... the director, and the writer, haven't got a clue - not a single clue - and obviously have NO LOVE for horror films - else why would they add this retrogressive, cliché-ridden, predictable, deathly dull, poorly plotted, laughably bad piece of **** to the canon...? And people wonder why everyone downloads films for free, instead of paying for them... when films are this poor, why should anyone pay for them? If downloading kills the film industry, it will be garbage like this that takes the first hit, so more power to the down-loaders, download your socks off and maybe in the future stuff like this won't see the light of day. Memo to the makers: if you wouldn't wipe your arse on your script, then for God's sake don't go ahead and film it.

steelgaze I felt like I really needed to rip this movie a new one since I didn't see a lot of mention of a point I thought is glaringly obvious. Another reviewer mentioned it, and I feel like the whole experience of the film was ruined due to the lack of subtitles.I can forgive a lot of things for a movie; bad scripts, accents, usage of foreign languages, etc. I do indeed love to watch foreign films, but only when I understand what the hell is going on. The first 30 minutes of the movie is fine, since most of the dialog is spoke in English. I thought it was pretty good for a typical horror, and I liked the setup. It is believable, straightforward setup.After that, it all goes downhill and everything simply switches to German. I suppose it is done intentionally since some of the characters didn't know German but I don't think that's an excuse to not include subtitles. Knowing almost no German, I at least wasn't at a complete lost with the general direction of how the film is taking, especially being a horror genre but it really detracted from my experience. If it had subs? I'd probably give it a seven.
