Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Lidia Draper
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Francene Odetta
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

OK, here's the deal. The only way you're going to think this is a good movie is if you're a fanboy of the so-called horror genre, because only fanboys will overlook all the obvious shortcomings of this low-budget, simplistic, psycho-with-no-name killer, cat and mouse game in the dank, initially foreboding, but ultimately monotonous tunnels of Berlin, where the usual pretty boys and pretty girls make an underground mountain of illogical, counter-intuitive, anti-survival decisions that lead to conclusions you no longer care much about, which in my case, stopped about ten minutes after they encountered their coveralled boogeyman with his inexplicable glaring and exaggerated gesturing. The violence is jumbled through cheat-cut closeups more commonly associated with high school production values, albeit a bit slicker. To call this a "classic," or "best of anything," is to make a sad admission about how uninteresting and unvaried that the modern whore-or genre really is. This is just another also-rans unimpressive, un-psychological chapter in the apocrypha of male-virgin eye candy that frighten only the most unsophisticated of shut-in teens.

A group of people take in an underground tour of the tunnels beneath Berlin. All is going relatively well until their fairly enigmatic guide suffers an unfortunate accident. If being lost in these deep, dark, endless maze of tunnels weren't bad enough, they also happen upon a deranged nut-case/former border guard.I thought I was in for yet another low-budget, badly acted horror flick of little real value, but as the movie wore on, I found, much to my surprise, it to be fairly well done. Highly derivative, but well done nonetheless. I actually found myself caring if these characters survived or not, no small feat as most of these type of films have such one-dimensional cardboard characters that I usually can't be bothered. Which I guess is also true here to some extent, but I was drawn into the story regardless.

One reviewer said it best when he compared this film to "Wolf Creek", this really basically is that movie but in a different setting. However, they did throw in a few things to make this movie its own.The film started out very interesting and I was pretty excited. I really like the idea of Urban Exploring so to finally see a horror movie about it was very cool. But once things really got going I realized this was pretty much the same ole thing, but in this case that wasn't such a bad thing.The baddie does an excellent job of being terrifying and just plain evil, and I think thats the main thing that made me enjoy this film. That mixed in with some very extremely gory scenes made this worth watching.Its not the best horror movie ever and its not going blow any minds, but it was fun and fairly disturbing. If you enjoyed such films as Wolf Creek, Hostel, and Train I suggest you give this one a look cus you are bound to find something you like here. Good movie but nothing special. 6/10

This film is complete and utter scheiss-water - the horrible jittery camera-work, the blundering script, and the horribly unlikeable characters... it was completely fright-free, and involved the usual crapola of the 'hero' being given countless opportunities to kill off the villain, but, of course, he doesn't, so that by the time the hero is skinned alive you are cheering, because he is such a dumb cluck... the film starts by telling us how many miles of undiscovered tunnels there are beneath Berlin, then proceeds to shoot scenes that look like an Ikea store room. Urban Explorer ADDS nothing the genre - in fact, it detracts from it... the more that films like this get made, the more it negates the horror genre... the director, and the writer, haven't got a clue - not a single clue - and obviously have NO LOVE for horror films - else why would they add this retrogressive, cliché-ridden, predictable, deathly dull, poorly plotted, laughably bad piece of **** to the canon...? And people wonder why everyone downloads films for free, instead of paying for them... when films are this poor, why should anyone pay for them? If downloading kills the film industry, it will be garbage like this that takes the first hit, so more power to the down-loaders, download your socks off and maybe in the future stuff like this won't see the light of day. Memo to the makers: if you wouldn't wipe your arse on your script, then for God's sake don't go ahead and film it.
