Viewing Notes
Picked up the dvd today at Dollar Tree for $1.25 and I’ve been wanting to see this since around its release time. This is basically like THE BUNKER but set in Indonesia with a Japanese bunker. (It is amusing that there’s a trailer for THE BUNKER BLACK SUN on the dvd)
This isn’t as good as THE BUNKER and takes its time to really get into the shit but once it does the movie gets way more interesting. It’s more like a mashup of THE DESCENT and THE BUNKER. Wish it was the Blu bc there’s some cool imagery and the dvd has only so-so PQ.
Whether intentional or not there’s a nod to SHOCK WAVES and ZOMBIE LAKE, two movies I’ve been wanting to revisit. Overall this is a decent little film. If I can find a cheap upgrade to Blu I’ll do it.
