“'Bunker - There is no escape' tries the well-known premise of the horror film of people who are trapped in a clandestine, gloomy place and exposed to unknown dangers and crippling paranoia [...] Chasing through dark corridors in which people are each other hunt like cattle, is sometimes more, sometimes less adeptly staged, here and there also quite atmospheric and atmospheric, but really well-known in every respect. In addition, the characters are uncomfortably trivial [...] 'Bunker - There is no escape' [is] a long-term, tiring, schematic film that has hardly anything to offer, not even ... carefree entertainment ...
