I Realize this movie is only 95 minutes long but it seemed much much longer than that. The story seems so disjointed, and I really didn't get much time to care about any of the main characters. This setting for these LARPers is supposed to be haunted but the film isn't the least bit scary. The jump scares are lame, and my biggest problem is that these people are all willingly playing NAZI's in the LARP. I might not understand the whole LARPing community, but I know a bad movie when I see one.

A silly premise, melodramatic performances replete with badly faked accents, the least exciting sex scene I'd ever scene, pretenses to depth that wasn't there and I was out within 40-45 minutes.

I can't really give an honest review of the substance of the story as it moves rather slowly and struggled to hold my attention.

I do enjoy a good slow burn (You Should Have Left comes to mind - slow burn, great camerawork and the story keeps a good pace) but this one was just sort of stuck in second gear in my opinion.

I did find the camerawork, lighting and scenery quite enjoyable and that held my attention.

It's worth a watch if you can set aside the slow story and enjoy it on perhaps a more visceral level.

It's a great movie and it could be better than it is but it's worth watching atleast once. The storyline could be better and the way they did everything could be better but this is worth watching atleast once and it's like a one time movie.

Just watched The Bunker Game on Shudder. Best not to read the synopsis, as I expect many folks went in not knowing much. Almost anything I say will be a spoiler. Trailer sort of gives you a hint, but I liked the twist.

Only a few likable characters, with a creepy subplot that might really bother some folks. There is Nazi imagery, I can say that much. First ten minutes set things up then you begin to understand, as things go wrong. Slow burn with things growing weirder. Odd ending you can take a couple of ways.

I gave it three out of five 💀 on the app.

The Bunker Game (2022) follows a group of people running a larping event in an underground bunker, when mysterious things keep happening, they decide to stop the event and investigate. This film had a very unique premise but it was just completely boring and lacked substance or any originality. I felt nothing after watching it, which is always a bad sign for me.

There were some decent colour palettes, but other than this, the cinematography was very mediocre. The focus shifts weren't well done and looked way too odd, and the flashing lights used were super annoying and distracting. However, to my surprise, the final shots were absolutely gorgeous. The end shots showed that the filmmakers had the ability so make something visually beautiful, it's just a shame they didn't utilise this until the last minute.

The score was definitely lacking, and I just felt like the sound design as a whole was missing something. I expected a film like this to have effective sound design in order to build up tension, but unfortunately it didn't.

The acting was decent, but this inevitably didn't matter as the characters were poorly written and had a serious lack of depth. Also, some scenes were very dialogue heavy which was a bad thing due to the dialogue dragged a lot.

The movie started off a bit messy, and took way too long to get going. There wasn't any tension built up, and I was over half way in when things started to happen. The pacing was very consistent with a lack of atmosphere, and the whole movie just felt incredibly bland.

This is not really a film; it is more of a video game. Unfortunately, it is not even a good video game because NOBODY CARES about any of the characters in the film. They have no character development, so we don't care about them. If they die, they will get another life, because you get three lives in video game land. In real life you get one. And it is much better not to waste part of it on this exercise in tedious competition.. The actors in the film are cartoonish, as is the script. So maybe it would have been better to make this as a cartoon rather than such a lame attempt at a real film. Don't waste your money on this turkey.

No pun intended - as in lurking around or whatever else you may read from it ... well maybe a bit intended ... or a lot. Like when you plan role playing games, but you know not everything will go according to plan. That all being said and while the actors really do do their best (is that grammatically correct?), the movie has quite a few flaws.

I am not even sure you have to like role playing games to be into this - but it does help for sure. You have to love movies to even consider watching this of course. Because this low budget effort is really only for certain people ... it looks good for sure, but that is to be expected from any movie that is being made, with technology having evolved. Costumes and sets are quite nice too though - especially for a low budget movie.

(No spoiler)The movie has SOME redeeming qualities. The beginning is semi interesting? Makes you wonder what will happen next, but that quickly devolves. It has so many weird, unnecessary plot points. The pacing is super bizarre. Each character makes you feel like they were going for a different movie with each of them.

In the end the movie got to be so boring and drawn out I would fast forward through some of the more pointless scenes. There's a weird nude scene, just because I guess? Lot of scenes that were, "meant" to add to the ambience or suspense and manages to do neither.

For the story itself it's just bad. There's no other way around it. The movie doesn't know what it's trying to say, because it ends up saying a lot of nothing. The individual stories feel super bland and pointless, while the main plot somehow manages to be worse?

It boils down to creepy horror movie trope executed HORRIBLY to the point where the movie was somehow creepier before you got to the tropey horror execution.

Then it tells you nazis are bad, and that incels are also bad. While this is true. It offers nothing extra to say for either of these.

The point they try to make about female autonomy was also done poorly in my opinion. They make the main character brave and independent, which is good. They, however undo a lot of this by making her personality revolve around a guy and having a kid.

To me this movie seemed like part thriller, part tragedy tinged with scifi, and part something else, but I'm not sure what. I'm even not sure I get the whole thing, but I think what makes it worthwhile is the set, which is amazing and kept me watching, and the actors being top notch along with some interesting dialogue and the generally high quality production... everything very well done. It also felt a bit profound, as if wholly allegory, but went so many directions I can't say what the message was. Recommended if you don't mind wondering wtf a few times without always getting an answer.

Cool movie. I put 10 stars. Cool voice acting, actors, plot, the best moments. Thank you so much for such a movie!!! But there are a few disadvantages, I don't want to talk about them... This is normal...

Not bad but I think it's not scarry enough.

The movie builds up fairly well and gives you enough spooky moments. However, the movie lacks enough substance to make it a good film.

Chick looks so much better as a blonde. It sums up what happens in the description. There is a game in a bunker, it ends and then the organiser disappears. That thread remains untied which is a bit weak. We see other things happen which struggle to lend interest to the final acts. It's visually ok, entertaining enough. It's ok.

It was slow starting but then the real plot started unfolding. I didn't care for the sex scene and mutes the sound. Some scenes could have been explored more and been more interesting. Ive never scene the film idea. It was original and it was a nice film to watch.

Cool me very interesed of it very good. Maybe for everyone its make good. But I don't know. Fu$k 150 characters i hate this i cant. Realy. Ennendendndnnenndnendnejdjdjdndnd.
