What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The mercenary team is trapped inside an abandoned outpost while a hostile force attacks from below.
The bunker contains evidence of gruesome experiments carried out by Nazis on their own soldiers, linking the threat to occult Nazism.
Hunt hires ex-soldiers to protect him and inspect the bunker, but the mission's real purpose becomes increasingly suspicious.
The film confines its survivors to a decaying bunker and uses menacing costumes, makeup, atmosphere, and shadowy interiors.
