FILM THREAT: Bunker
February 24, 2023
"NOW IN THEATERS! Don’t read the official synopsis or logline for director Adrian Langley’s Bunker. Why? Because it’s a spoiler. The film, written by Michael Huntsman, is a paranoia thriller set during the first Great War in which several soldiers become trapped in a bunker. To say much more about the narrative would spoil the fun. But, some more context is possible.
Lt. Turner (Patrick Moltane) demands much from the men under his command. The battalion’s new medic, Segura (Eddie Ramos), arrives just as Turner is leading a small band of soldiers forward as word has come that the Germans retreated. The group, which includes Baker (Julian Feder) and Pvt. Lewis (Quinn Moran), among others, discovers a bunker with one leftover German brutally tied up.
Shortly after freeing the enemy soldier, Kurt (Luke Baines), the bunker is hit by a shell and partially collapses. Unfortunately, this leaves no way out. As time keeps ticking, the men begin to unravel. Turner’s volatile nature becomes more pronounced as mistrust grows, leading to violent outbursts. Will the soldiers survive the hell on Earth called war? Is this bunker their tomb?"
