They hire a guide who will illegally take them through murky, dark, damp tunnels beneath a nightclub in order for the group to get photos and videos of otherwise unseen attractions. This is a horror, but not one that can be pigeonholed into just one horror genre, there is a lot going on here, and thankfully all involved are splendid and help carry an already brilliant story.įour strangers arrive in Berlin with a plan to see areas of Berlin shut off from the public, no go areas if you will. In case you hadn’t guessed, I liked this, and while I don’t believe it will suit everyone’s taste, those who do watch it and enjoy it (I use that term carefully by the way!), will be recommending this to other horror fans. Although director Andy Fetscher has clearly been influenced by the previously mentioned films, he has the brains and the balls to use those influences, very well I might add, and create his own unique vision of madness and menace. Urban Explorer is violent, don’t get me wrong, but there is far more intelligence on offer here, and the film leaves a horrible, lingering thought in one’s head, and you will come away from this feeling like you have just been through an ordeal. Some will also probably compare it to Hostel in places, but this shock fest is much better than Eli Roth’s vision. German horror Urban Explorer has been billed as a cross between The Descent and Creep, and I couldn’t agree more.
