Urban Explorer is a 2011 German horror-thriller film directed by Andy Fetscher. The film is about urban exploration in subterranean Berlin. Also known as "The Depraved".

Premise

Four young urban explorers from the USA, South America, Asia and Europe meet up in Berlin via internet to explore the subterranean relics of Nazi Germany. The destination for the illegal tour, through a labyrinth of tunnels, sewers and catacombs, is a special bunker, the Fahrerbunker (Hitler's subterranean garage) which is the center of many legends, where they expect to find the debris of forbidden Nazi wall murals. But when tragedy strikes the group's leader, they soon realize not all things go according to plan.

Cast

Production

The movie was shot mostly on location in what used to be inaccessible tunnel systems underneath Berlin.

Release

The film was first released on 24 July 2011 in the Fantasia Film Fest in Montreal.[1] The film will be released in the UK by Anchor Bay Entertainment – under the title Urban Explorers

Reception

The film has so far been received favorably, with Robert Koehler of Variety citing "Fetscher avoids the temptation to push the situation into an exercise in torture porn – an option he easily could have gone for – while nevertheless ratcheting up the horror. Indeed, his one-man-band combination of direction, lensing and editing proves crucial, displaying a balance of craft and patience in building layers of suspense under a horrific setting that goes beyond any urban explorer's worst nightmare."[2]
