I've watched some truly awful horror movies with the same IMD rating as this one. I'm baffled by the IMD rating for this film. Obviously it's not going to be a blockbuster high budget movie, but ? ... The atmosphere was great, story was simple but good, characters believable and well acted (surprisingly so), loved the setting of WWI, well paced, good tension, nice set and period details. Felt wonderfully claustrophobic at times, some nice scares, a love-to-hate him bad guy. Not a cliched 'evil Germans' movie. Just, well, an enjoyable movie. I actually cared about the characters and how the story turned out, which is often not the case with many horror/sci fi movies for me - and it felt oddly fresh for a somewhat generic sounding horror movie... maybe because it felt honest, and no jump scares or annoying characters, and those sort of cliches.
